OREANDA-NEWS. July 08, 2011. PetroChina restarted its 200,000 barrel-per-day crude distillation unit (CDU) in its Dalian refinery in early July after around 40 days' maintenance, an industry source said.

Petrochina's Dalian refinery plans to raise July crude runs to 317,900 bpd, up 63 percent from 194,670 bpd in June, the source said.

The Dalian plant has a total crude refining capacity of 410,000 bpd, half of which is designed to process sour Middle East crude.
