Aramco, TotalEnergies assess damage at SATORP refinery after overnight incident

(WO) — TotalEnergies reported damage at the SATORP refinery in Saudi Arabia following overnight incidents linked to the ongoing Middle East conflict, resulting in the shutdown of one of the site’s two processing trains.

The SATORP facility, a joint venture majority-owned by Saudi Aramco (62.5%) with TotalEnergies holding 37.5%, was impacted during the night of April 7–8. No casualties were reported, and the affected units were taken offline as a precautionary measure.

An assessment of the extent of the damage and its impact on refinery operations is currently underway, the company said. The timeline for restarting the affected processing train has not yet been disclosed.

SATORP is a key refining asset in Saudi Arabia’s downstream sector, and any disruption could have implications for regional product supply, depending on the duration of the outage.

TotalEnergies said it is continuing to monitor developments related to the conflict and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
