India’s Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd has shut Phase-3 units at its 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery in southern India due to a minor landslide, according to a company statement.
Phase-3 project comprises a 60,000-bpd crude unit and some secondary units.
“The landslide has affected a pipe rack carrying pipelines between the process units and as a precautionary measure, the units in the Phase-3 complex have been temporarily shut down,” the company said.
The other two crude units at the refinery are still in operation, the company said.
A company official said the Phase-3 project has been shut for the last three days.
