A fire at Iraq’s Salah Al Din refinery at the Baiji oil complex did not affect production, the Iraqi state news agency reported yesterday, citing North Refineries Company.
Baiji, located 180km north of Baghdad, is the largest refinery complex in Opec’s second-biggest producer.
Civil defence had extinguished a fire inside a hydrocracking unit at the refinery and no injuries were reported, the state news agency said.
The company said the cause of the fire was a ‘technical incident’.
