The Hon. Kins Nelson
Kins Nelson asked the Minister to clarify Sapugaskanda Refinery’s current output, noting that production is reportedly about 30,000 barrels per day despite a 50,000-barrel nameplate capacity, leaving around 70% of national demand to be met by imports. He specifically requested the daily product slate percentages for diesel, petrol, kerosene, aviation fuel, and furnace oil.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary is this.
¶ 02 Although Sapugaskanda’s nameplate capacity is 50,000 barrels/day, reports indicate current production is around 30,000 barrels/day — roughly 30% of our daily need, with about 70% imported. Hon. Minister, can you provide the current product slate percentages for diesel, petrol, kerosene, aviation fuel and furnace oil refined daily at Sapugaskanda?
