Satorp refinery in Saudi Arabia restarted in mid-April: TotalEnergies

French oil giant TotalEnergies has announced that it restarted its Satorp refinery in Saudi Arabia on April 14 after it had been shut down following damage sustained during Iran’s attacks, Al Jazeera reports.

“Following the events of April 8, which affected three units at the Satorp site and led to its shutdown as a safety precaution, the undamaged units were able to be restarted, and the refinery has been operating at a capacity of 230,000 b/d [barrels per day] since April 14,” the company said.
