Venezuela's largest refinery in service after power outage following earthquake

Venezuela's 645,000-bpd Amuay refinery, the country's largest, was back in service on Friday after a power outage, processing some 140,000 bpd of crude and with its fluid catalytic cracker active, three sources from the facility said.
Power outages affected several Venezuelan refineries following two deadly earthquakes last week. The 146,000-bpd El Palito refinery has power back, but workers have not been able to restart operational units yet, separate sources said.
PDVSA did not reply to a request for comment. Oil minister Paula Henao last week said fuel was guaranteed for domestic distribution.
