Japan's Eneos shuts 141,000-bpd Sakai CDU after a fire

Japan's biggest refiner, Eneos Corp., shut down a 141,000- bpd crude distillation unit (CDU) at its Sakai refinery on February 17 after a fire there that day.

A company spokesperson declined to comment on the cause of the unplanned shutdown or say when it might restart.

The refiner, which is a unit of Eneos Holdings, restarted the 172,100-bpd No. 2 CDU at its Kawasaki refinery on February 13 after an unplanned shutdown on January 29, the spokesperson added.

Eneos also conducted an unplanned shutdown of the 136,000-bpd CDU at its Oita refinery from January 21–27, the spokesperson said.

The company plans to shut the 105,000-bpd No. 3 CDU at its Mizushima-B refinery later this month for scheduled maintenance.
