Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA on Thursday said it has
begun efforts to start back up its refinery in Port Arthur, Texas
after the plant was shut as a safety precaution due to Hurricane
Laura.
"We are working diligently to energize the facility and start up
recovery efforts," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality.
Total's 225,000-barrel-a-day Port Arthur refinery is 95 miles
east of Houston. The city of Port Arthur was near but not directly
in the path of where Hurricane Laura made landfall Thursday morning
as a powerful, Category 4 storm.
