PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Restarts Amuau Plant Flexicoker Unit
Venezuelan state-run oil firm Petroleos de Venezuela SA said in a statement that its Amuau plant at the Paraguana complex in Falcon has restarted its flexicoker unit after scheduled maintenance.
Business News Americas relates that Amuau was shut down on Sept. 29 for the maintenance. Repairs were concluded 55 days later.
Petroleos de Venezuela told BNamericas that the maintenance was the largest undertaking of its kind at the complex.
While the flexicoker unit was shut down, the complex received an additional 30 million cubic of natural gas on top of the 115 million cubic feet per day it usually receives from the firm, Petroles de Venezuela said in a statement.
