Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) is planning to undertake a month-long maintenance for its 140,000 barrels per day (b/d) condensate splitter in November, industry sources told Reuters.

The source explained that the maintenance process will include the integration of a new crude distillation unit (CDU) pipeline which is expected to be operating by late next year.

ENOC is currently suffering from a supply shortage of feedstock condensate caused by the US sanctions against Iran.
