Bangchak, which has a nameplate refining capacity of 120,000 bpd, ran at 80,000 bpd in 2012 after a shutdown for repairs following a fire that damaged its crude distillation unit in July, it said in a statement.
The refiner aimed for an earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of 10 billion baht this year, up 30 percent from a year earlier, and expected average refining margin of $7 a barrel this year when it has no shutdown plan, the statement said.
