HOUSTON - Phillips 66 was preparing on Sunday to begin a restart on Monday of its southeast Louisiana refinery, which was shut because of the threat of Tropical Storm Barry, the company said.

Hurricane Barry weakened to a tropical storm as it made landfall in Louisiana on Saturday, after a westward shift that appeared to spare low-lying New Orleans from the massive flooding feared earlier this week. At Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s 225,300 bpd Norco, Louisiana, refinery a power pole broke, but production was not affected, said sources familiar with plant operations.

Both Valero Energy Corp’s 125,000 bpd Meraux, Louisiana, refinery and PBF Energy’s 190,000 bpd Chalmette, Louisiana, refinery were also running as planned on Sunday, sources said.
