TOKYO, June 14 (Reuters) - Japanese refiner Nippon Oil Corp's (5001.T) 145,000 barrel-per-day Sendai refinery appears not to have been damaged after a powerful earthquake earlier on Saturday, a refinery official said.

The quake had no impact on operations because the refinery was shut earlier this month for scheduled maintenance, the official added. (Reporting by Osamu Tsukimori)
