The TotalEnergies refinery
TTEF.PA in Port Arthur, Texas, with a capacity of 238,000 barrels per day (bpd), began restarting its production units on Friday, people familiar with plant operations said.
TotalEnergies restarted internal utilities on Thursday, the sources said.
Tricia Fuller, a company spokeswoman, declined to comment Friday.
The refinery was shut down following a power outage on January 16, when temperatures along the Gulf Coast fell below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 6.7 degrees Celsius).
TotalEnergiies initially planned to return the refinery to service by Jan. 26, according to a notice filed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
