Cilacap refinery running at 50% capacity

State oil and gas firm PT Pertamina said Wednesday its 348,000 barrel-a-day Cilacap refinery is running at 50% capacity but expects it to reach full capacity Thursday.

Spokesman Wisnuntoro said the problem isn't expected to boost the company's imports of oil products.

Electricity problem occurred on Monday has disrupted fuel production causing the company to suffer deficit up to 139.200 barrels per day, but the fuel production deficit would not affect the national fuel supply, he said. (*)
