WILLEMSTAD - Motiva Enterprises lost interest in the Isla refinery last year due to the intervention of the Saudi parent company Aramco.

The mother company did not want Motiva to close deals that could influence the IPO or raise questions about the strategy of the American company. Plans for the Aramco IPO are now postponed to 2021.

It is possible that Motiva will still be interested in the Curacao refinery, which will close on 31 December of this year.
