TOKYO, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Japanese oil refiner Idemitsu
Kosan Co 5019.T restarted the 190,000-barrel-per-day crude
distillation unit at its Chiba refinery, east of Tokyo, on
Friday after it was shut down by an earthquake, a company
spokeswoman told Reuters.
The Chiba unit was shut down automatically after the 7.3
magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of eastern Japan on
Saturday, injuring scores of people and causing damage across a
wide area in and around Fukushima. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL4N2KJ071
