-- Viva Energy Group (ASX:VEA) expected repairs needed to restart the residue catalytic cracking unit at its fire-hit Geelong Refinery to take about six weeks before the unit returns to operation in June, according to a Monday filing with the Australian bourse.
The refinery expects to produce diesel and jet fuel at about 80% of capacity and petrol at roughly 60% while the unit remains offline, with production expected to increase to more than 90% capacity after the unit's expected restart next month.
Viva Energy said it has sufficient fuel stocks to cover the reduced production and expects to maintain a normal fuel supply to customers.
The company's investigation into the April 15 fire and its impact is ongoing.
