Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has started a gradual restart of operations at the Ruwais oil refinery after its closure to perform previously scheduled maintenance work.

According to Reuters, a spokesman for the company explained that the Ruwais complex, which has a capacity of 835 thousand barrels per day, was closed early this year.

He told Reuters to re-run the refineries in Al Ruwais phase-out following a planned maintenance program.
