Skikda Refinery To Close For Annual Maintenance In Early June

Algerias 335,000 b/d Skikda refinery will undergo a rolling shutdown beginning on 4 June for annual maintenance that will last for 15 days (MEES, 25 April). The closure is not expected to affect oil product exports as the refinery has built up sufficient stocks.
