Czech oil group Unipetrol expects petrol production at its Ceska Rafinerska unit to restart on Nov. 1 following an accident at another Unipetrol subsidiary, the company said on Monday.

Petrol production at the Litvinov refinery of Ceska Rafinerska, 51 percent owned by Unipetrol, would start thanks to a supply of external resources, Unipetrol said.

Diesel production should restart on Nov. 3, Unipetrol said.

Fuel production was halted by an accident two weeks ago at Unipetrol's unit Unipetrol RPA when it was restarting operations after a planned maintenance shutdown.

Unipetrol has also been forced to halt its ethylene unit, which the company expects to restart on Nov. 6-7 and run at 70-80 percent capacity, pending further repairs that are expected to last several weeks.

Unipetrol has said the outages would cost it several hundred million crowns in core earnings.
