FACTBOX-US energy companies restoring operations after Irene

Aug 29 (Reuters) - U.S. refiners and energy companies on Monday began to restore operations
disrupted by Hurricane Irene over the weekend, though one refinery was heard to have suffered
damage to a crude unit due to flooding, while another remained shut.

Nearly 5.5 million customers on the East Coast were without power in 14 states on Monday,
according to a report from the U.S. Department of Energy. Outages were most severe in New York
state, which had about 940,000 customers without power, the report showed.

A 90,000 barrel per day (bpd) crude unit at Sunoco Inc'S (SUN.N) Girard Point section of its
335,000 barrel per day refinery was shut down Sunday due to flooding from Hurricane Irene, a source
familiar with refinery operations said.

The crude charge pumps for the unit were flooded and went down. Rates to the Girard Point
gasoline-making fluid catalytic cracker were cut by more than half to around 40,000 bpd. The unit
has a rated capacity of 90,000 bpd.

ConocoPhillips' (COP.N) refinery in Linden, New Jersey remained shut on Monday while its
Trainer, Pennsylvania, refinery was operating at normal rates. [ID:nWEN7648] Sunoco began
ramping up rates at its Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania plant after rates were cut ahead of the storm, a
source familiar with operations said on Monday.

Hess Corp (HES.N) said on Sunday its 70,000 bpd Port Reading refinery in New Jersey was back to
normal operations after cutting runs as a precaution as Hurricane Irene approached. [ID:nWEN7673

PBF energy said its New Jersey and Delaware refineries did not sustain any damages from the
storm and were operating normally as of Sunday morning. [ID:nWEN7655]

Colonial Pipeline said Irene's impact on its northwestern refined oil system in southern New
Jersey, Maryland and Virginia was less than expected. The U.S. Energy Information Administration
said there were no interruptions in the pipeline's service to Linden, New Jersey, and New York
Harbor.

The company's mainlines in its northeastern pipeline system continued to provide full services,
including at its Linden, New Jersey, facility and in the New York Harbor. [ID:nWEN7662]

Kinder Morgan (KMI.N) shut down a part of its Plantation oil products pipeline between
