Two more Saudi Arabian petrochemical firms announce normal feedstock supplies.
Two more petrochemical companies in Saudi Arabia announced over the weekend that feedstock supplies from Saudi Aramco have returned to normal levels.
Petrotahlil :Sadara and Advanced Petrochemical Co. were the two companies that announced resumption of normal supplies.
Late last week, six of Saudi Arabia's petrochemical firms said feedstock ethane supplies from Saudi Aramco returned to normal. The companies were -- Sipchem, Saudi Kayan, Tasnee, Yansab, Sabic and Petro Rabigh.
Feedstock supplies were cut to crucial Saudi petrochemical companies after the attacks on key Saudi Aramco oil facilities on September 14. The attacked oil field also produces and supplies gas for petrochemical production, and the country's petrochemical industry was particularly hit by the gas supply cut.
Feedstock ethane supplies were cut 16%-50% just after the attacks.
