FACTBOX-Hess restarting refinery, terminal ops after Sandy
Nov 14 (Reuters) - Hess Corp has begun restarting its 70,000 barrel per day (bpd) Port Reading, New
Jersey, refinery after it shut due to a lack of power following Hurricane Sandy.
As the New York Harbor energy network continued to recover from the superstorm, Hess said it expected fuel
production at the plant to resume by the end of the week, and added it resumed limited marine operations out of
its Bayonne, New Jersey, terminal earlier this week. Rack operations out of the Bayonne terminal are still
suspended.
Only five of the 57 terminals that were in Sandy's path remained shut, according to the Department of Energy.
The 238,000 barrel-per-day plant owned by Phillips 66 in Bayway, New Jersey, will likely be shut for
another two to three weeks as repairs are carried out, primarily on electrical equipment damaged by saltwater,
the company said.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS ON WEDNESDAY:
* HESS CORP said its Port Reading, New Jersey, was restarting and that fuel production would begin by
the end of the week.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS ON TUESDAY:
* NEW JERSEY lifted the 1970s-style gasoline rationing imposed in 12 counties as the supply improved.
* MOTIVA ENTERPRISES said it resumed limited operations from its Newark, New Jersey, terminal as of Sunday.
Motiva's Brooklyn and Long Island terminals are still shut. Operations have not resumed out of the Sewaren, New
Jersey, terminal.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS ON MONDAY:
* NEW JERSEY power company PSEG said it restored power to an electrical substation that supplies electricity
to Hess Corp's Port Reading, New Jersey plant.
* PHILLIPS 66 said it had no new time frame for the restart of the Bayway refinery and said flaring at the
plant on Sunday was related to preparation for resuming operations.
* NEW JERSEY government says it will end gasoline rationing on Tuesday at 6 a.m. (1100 GMT).
KEY DEVELOPMENTS ON SUNDAY:
* KINDER MORGAN said all of its facilities were moving product inbound and outbound with limited marine
operations restored at its Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and Staten Island, New York, terminals.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS ON FRIDAY:
* COLONIAL PIPELINE said that, although its system returned to "maximum rates," the situation in New Jersey
had "not returned to normal" due to infrastructure problems that could lead to additional slowdown or shutdowns.
It said problems included damage to customer facilities, road closures and power supply problems.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS ON THURSDAY:
* HESS CORP said it still does not have a time frame for restarting its 70,000 bpd refinery in Port
Reading after completing an assessment of refinery equipment, which is now on standby.
"The local power authority ... advised that repairs will be needed to a local substation before sufficient
power is available to support the refinery's start-up process," it said. "A time frame for the refinery's restart
will be determined once the full power requirement can be met."
A brief power outage on Thursday forced it to stop marine and rack loading at Port Reading. The company said
marine and rack operations at its Bayonne, New Jersey, terminal were still suspended on Thursday. Marine
operations at its Newark, New Jersey, terminal also remained suspended. All other Hess terminals continued to
operate.
* New York City Mayor MICHAEL BLOOMBERG ordered on Thursday the rationing of gasoline sold in the city.
* BLOOMBERG also waived the requirement that buildings and homes in New York City utilize heating oil with
sulfur content of less than 0.15 parts per million, effective through Dec. 7.
* MOTIVA ENTERPRISES restarted rack operations from its terminal in Sewaren, New Jersey.
* BUCKEYE PIPELINE said a terminal had a temporary power outage at Inwood, but continued operations
on standby generators. Power has since been restored, the company said.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS ON WEDNESDAY:
* A NOR'EASTER blew into areas affected by Hurricane Sandy and dropped record snow in New York and New
Jersey, complicating the energy network's recovery.
* COMMERCIAL STOCKPILES of gasoline in the U.S. central Atlantic, which covers four states, including New
York and New Jersey, slipped by only 310,000 barrels last week, government data showed.
