The Hungarian oil and gas company MOL Plc. has notified market players on the website of the Budapest Stock Exchange that it is gradually restarting production at its Danube refinery.
MOL initiated a planned shutdown of the Danube refinery in the first half of October 2022. During the restart, it was realized that further maintenance was necessary on the Mild Hydrocrack – Hydrogen Desulphurisation Unit (MHCK-HDS) as well as other units.
Following the completion of the maintenance works, the restart of the HDS unit has been done. As a result, MOL started the gradual ramp up of crude processing. Full capacity utilization is expected to be reached in a couple of weeks.
MOL says it remains committed to maintaining security of supply from own products, however, securing full market supply cannot be ensured without the ramp-up of product imports in the current environment.
