TotalEnergies Texas refinery returns to normal operation, sources say

HOUSTON, Jan 8 (Reuters) - TotalEnergies' TTEF.PA 238,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Port Arthur, Texas refinery was operating normally on Wednesday, one day after a malfunction on the coker, people familiar with plant operations said.

The 60,000-bpd coker tripped out of operation on Tuesday due to a heater malfunction, the sources said. The malfunction was corrected and the coker returned to normal operation within a few hours.
