(Reuters) - China's Wison Engineering Ltd said on Wednesday it won a contract to upgrade Venezuela's 210,000 barrel per day Puerto la Cruz refinery to process heavy crude.
This year state-owned PDVSA's local refining network, which has a capacity of more than 1.3 million bpd, has largely overcome the frequent outages and halts for maintenance seen in 2011. The plants run crude produced in Venezuela, which pumps high volumes of heavy oil. (Reporting by Matthew Robinson; Editing by Marguerita Choy)
