SAUDI ARABIA: Aramco to shut Rabigh refinery for a month

Saudi Aramco will shut down its 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) Rabigh refinery for at least a month for a planned turnaround from early next week, industry sources said on Wednesday.  The shutdown could last longer than a month because it also includes tying-up works that will link the plant to its new $10 billion joint-venture petrochemical complex with Japan's Sumitomo Chemical.
