BP Distillation Unit In Indiana Up And Running

Oil & Gas Journal is reporting:
BP PLC has started up a 250,000-b/d crude distillation unit at its Whiting, Ind., refinery.
The unit returns the Whiting refinery to its 413,000-b/d nameplate processing capability and clears the way for remaining upgrades of new coking and hydrotreating units, the company said.
When those units are online later this year, the reconfigured refinery will have the flexibility to increase heavy, sour crude processing, according to Iain Conn, BP chief executive for refining and marketing.
Heavy oil -- sounds like it's getting ready for Canadian sands oil -- which can come in by rail.
