Reliance Industries Ltd.

Reliance Industries (RIL) has scheduled a planned maintenance turnaround of one of the crude distillation unit of its SEZ refinery at Jamnagar complex for a period of approximately 3 weeks starting mid-February, 2012. During this period, other three crude distillation units at Jamnagar refining complex are expected to sustain normal operations.

The company has planned this maintenance turnaround for the first time after its commissioning during the financial year 2008-09. This opportunity would also be utilised to take up productivity improvement related jobs in other secondary processing units as necessary.

Recently, RIL’s gas output from its eastern offshore - D6 block in Krishna-Godavari basin (KG-D6) had further dropped to 38-39 million metric standard cubic meters per day (mmscmd). The upstream oil and gas regulator - Directorate General of Hydrocarbons, had notified that in November, RIL was producing 42 mmscmd from the block in eastern offshore.
