Manama, February 20, 2013

The Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (GPIC) has recorded its highest-ever monthly production in January this year, a top official said.

Company president Abdulrahman Jawahery said the total 140,258 metric tonnes (mt) production included 61,549 mt of granular urea, 39,995 mt of ammonia and 38,714 mt of methanol.

"This record follows the company completing its biggest-ever periodic maintenance of its plants and facilities in November," Jawahery said.
