Taiwan's CPC Corp. shuts one crude unit at Talin for maintenance until November
Taiwan's state-owned oil and gas major CPC Corp. has shut one of the crude units and some derivative units at its Talin refinery for a planned overhaul until the second half of November, three people familiar with the matter said.
The 150,000-bpd crude unit and some gasoline-producing units were shut around the middle of September, two of the people said. CPC Corp. did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Separately, CPC Corp. plans to shut one of its two 100,000-bpd crude units at its Taoyuan refinery for maintenance from early December to the first half of January, one of the people said.
Since the end of July, the refiner has been stocking up on fuels such as jet fuel and diesel via spot purchases, tender records showed.
The refiner has a combined crude processing capacity of around 600,000 bpd at its Talin and Taoyuan sites, its website showed.
