Attock Refinery Limited (ARL) announced on Monday that its main crude distillation unit (HBU-I), with a capacity of 32,400 BPSD had successfully resumed operations.

The refinery informed the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) today.

It added that the operations were resumed after normalisation of crude oil receipts and product dispatches via oil tankers.

In April, the company said it had shut down its main crude distillation unit (HBU-I) of 32,400 Barrels Per Stream Day (BPSD) capacity due to the expected arrival of foreign delegates in Islamabad.

Attock Refinery was incorporated in Pakistan on November 8, 1978, as a private limited company and was converted into a public company on June 26, 1979. It is principally engaged in the refining of crude oil.

The company is a subsidiary of Attock Oil Company Limited (England), and its ultimate parent is Coral Holding Limited (a private limited company incorporated in Malta).
