Attock Refinery Shuts Down Main Distillation Unit

Attock Refinery Limited (PSX: ATRL) has shut down its main crude distillation unit till June 1, 2025, the company informed the main bourse on Tuesday. ARL has shut down its main crude distillation unit (32,400 BPSD capacity) due to very low crude stocks. The unit will remain shut till June 01, 2025,” it said in the stock filing. Owing to imported LNG, there has been persistently high SNGPL system pressure resulting in forced curtailment of gas production from local oilfields. This has also resulted in reduction of crude oil production and supplies to ARL from the oilfields. ATRL is principally engaged in the refining of crude oil. The Company is subsidiary of The Attock Oil Company Limited, England and its ultimate parent is Coral Holding Limited (a private limited company incorporated in Malta).
