TOKYO (Reuters) -- Japan's top oil refiner JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp said on Tuesday it would refine 988,100 bpd of crude oil in March for domestic consumption.
That would be down 5% from a year earlier due to a heavier schedule for refining maintenance.
Its February crude refining for domestic consumption was estimated at 1.07 MMbpd, down 2% from the year-earlier period. That was after the company cut its refining plan last week due to unspecified problems with secondary units at multiple refineries.
