France's TotalEnergies said a refinery complex jointly owned with the Saudi national oil company has been shut down after being damaged this week.
"The Satorp site was affected by incidents that occurred during the night of April 7 to 8, causing damage to one of the refinery's two processing trains," the energy major said in a statement Friday. The Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Co., or Satorp, is a joint venture between Saudi Aramco, which holds a majority stake, and TotalEnergies, with a 37.5% interest. It is situated in Jubail in Saudi Arabia.
No casualties were reported, TotalEnergies said, without detailing the nature of the incidents. The units were shut down as a safety precaution and an assessment of the consequences for refinery operations at the site is underway, the company said.
