据烃加工网站7月20日报道 南非最大的原油精炼厂SAPREF运营商在一份声明中表示，由于暴力抢劫浪潮席卷全国，SAPREF暂时关闭后，将开始重新启动。
这家位于东海岸港口城市德班的炼油厂上周因暴力事件关闭，造成200多人死亡，价值数十亿兰特的损失。
SAPREF为BP和壳牌公司各占一半的合资企业，其额定产量为18万桶/日，约占非洲工业化程度最高的经济体（石油产品净进口国）炼油产能的35%。
运营商表示，炼油厂重启将需要7-10天时间才能完成。

South Africa's SAPREF refinery to begin restart
South Africa's largest crude oil refinery, SAPREF, will begin restarting, after temporarily shutting down as a wave of violent looting swept across the country, the operators said in a statement.
The refinery, situated in the east coast port city of Durban, shut down last week due to violence that claimed more than 200 lives and caused billions of rands worth of damage.
A 50/50 joint venture between BP and Shell, SAPREF has a nameplate capacity of 180,000 barrels per day and accounts for around 35% of the refining capacity in Africa's most industrialised economy, a net importer of petroleum products.
The refinery restart will take between 7-10 days to be completed, the operators said.
