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.
