South Korea's SK Energy is targeting a full restart of its blackout-hit refining and petrochemical units including crude distillation units (CDUs) by the end of this week, as per Reuters. An unexpected power cut in South Korea's southeastern oil and petrochemical hub of Ulsan on Tuesday hit the refining and petrochemical plants of S Korea's largest crude oil refiner, fully owned by SK Innovation.
As per a spokesperson, "We expect all the units to operate normally by the end of this week. We see no supply disruptions to oil products." The shutdown was caused after state-run utility Korea Electric Power Corp (KEPCO) resumed power supply 15 minutes after the unexpected cut triggered by a glitch.
