Sapugaskanda oil refinery stopped.
The activities of Sapugaskanda oil refinery suddenly came to a halt, due to the shortage of crude oil with appropriate standards, and not modifying the refinery according to the modern technology.
According to the Petroleum Corporation sources, this is the first time in the history that the refinery was stopped functioning, due to a reason other than a renovation.
Even though the Sapugaskanda oil refinery was designed to refine Iranian oil,refining of crude oil imported from the other countries are also being done there.Due to this,the daily production of 1000 M.T. of fuel, has been decreased to 500-600 M.T.
The trade union representatives of the corporation say that, as 4 oil tanks in Kollonnawa terminal and 5 oil tanks of Sapugaskanda oil refinery are totally empty,a conspiracy is launched to grant the monopoly of the oil distribution in this country, to India, through paralyzing the functions of Sapugaskanda oil refinery.
