Galp’s Sines refinery to shut down for maintenance in October

Portugal’s 220,000 barrels per day Sines refinery, owned by Galp Energia, will shut down for 25 days starting on a as yet unspecified date in October for planned maintenance, a company spokesperson said on Thursday, September 23.

The official said maintenance activities will be mainly on the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) and Atmospheric Distillation Unit (ADU) but Galp nevertheless maintained its full-year guidance for refining throughput at around 90 million barrels of oil equivalent.

The Sines refinery, south of the capital Lisbon, is the only one in Portugal.
