The refining and petrochemical complex in Rabigh, on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, was shut from April 21.
PetroRabigh said in a statement on the Saudi bourse website the complex would be running at full capacity by Aug. 15.
The restart of the 92,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) high olefin fluid catalytic cracking unit (HOFCC) had been delayed from mid-July as more maintenance work was needed at the unit's fractionators, prompting Aramco to sell fuel oil cargoes and boost gasoline imports.
A crude distillation unit (CDU) at the 400,000 bpd refinery integrated with the petrochemical complex is back online, the firm, a joint venture between State oil firm Saudi Aramco and Japan's Sumitomo Chemical, said earlier this month.
