Statoil schedules Mongstad refinery maintenance work for September

LONDON: Norway's Statoil will conduct maintenance on its 250,000-barrel per day Mongstad oil refinery from Sept. 12 to 30 this year, the company said in an emailed response to questions on Tuesday.

The Mongstad refinery, Norway's largest, has an annual production capacity of nearly 12 million tonnes of crude.

Most crude refined at the plant comes from Norway's offshore fields, but state-controlled Statoil also buys other types of oil to refine.
