Sahara says maintenance at Al Waha, SAMAPCO completed

The scheduled maintenance at Sahara Petrochemicals Co.’s subsidiaries, Al-Waha plant for Propylene and Polypropylene and Sahara and Maaden Petrochemical Co.’s (SAMAPCO) caustic soda and EDC unit has been completed successfully, Sahara said in a statement to Tadawul on Tuesday.

The financial impact of the shutdown cannot be precisely calculated due to the fluctuation of product and feedstock prices, and therefore Q1 and Q2 2017 earnings will reflect estimated prices, the statement said.
