WENews.com/November 13, 2016/Riyadh

Saudi Arabias Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical Co (PetroRabigh) will shut its ethane cracker for 21 days effective from Nov. 14 for maintenance, the company said in a bourse filing on Sunday.

The suspension, which aims to improve the plants safety and efficiency, will impact the firms fourth-quarter earnings by around 375 million riyals ($100 million), the statement added.

It is the second time in recent months that the firm, a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Japans Sumitomo Chemical, has shut the unit.

PetroRabigh shut the cracker down as a precaution on June 23 to work on damage to one of the units turbines, restarting it on July 14.
