First Ruwais Splitter Maintenance Under Way

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has, as planned, shut down one 140,000 b/d capacity condensate splitter at its Ruwais facility (MEES, 3 January). An industry source, quoted by Reuters on 20 January, said the maintenance shutdown would last two-to-three weeks, after which the second 140,000 b/d splitter would be shut down for a similar period.
