       Jan 10 (Reuters) - Turkish refiner Tupras  TUPRS.IS  is
expected to restart a 151,000 barrel per day (bpd) crude unit at
its Izmir oil refinery in early February after a fire on Nov.
25, industry monitor IIR said.
    Tupras did not respond immediately to emailed requests for
comment. 
    Turkey's biggest oil refiner shut the unit on Nov. 25, it
said in a regulatory filing the next day.
    The refinery, with a crude processing capacity of 241,500
bpd, mainly produces fuel oil, diesel, jet fuel and gasoline.
    It imported around 184,000 bpd of crude in 2024 versus
182,000 bpd in 2023, data from analytics provider Kpler showed.
    One-third of that crude came from Russia, the data showed.
    Tupras also owns a 225,800 bpd refinery in Izmit as well as
two smaller plants.
