Sapugaskanda oil refinery reopens late

Resuming operations at the Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery will be further delayed, says the Ministry of Energy.

 

Earlier, it was decided that Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery would be operative once again from tomorrow, following its temporary closure since January 03 due to the shortage in US dollars for the purchase of crude oil.

 

However, reports revealed that the shipment of crude oil arriving in Sri Lanka is experiencing some delays, leading to a hold-up of the operations at the oil refinery.
