By Kristian Rix

Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Cuba's Cienfuegos refinery, set to be inaugurated
Dec. 21, will increase its capacity to 109,000 barrels of oil equivalent
a day, Panorama said, citing Raul Perez de Prado, the chief of the
facility's operator.

An upgrade of the refinery is under way, the Web site said. It will
operate at full capacity at the end of 2008 and sell 40 percent of the
output to Caribbean and Latin American nations, Panorama said. Initial
capacity is 67,000 barrels a day.
