   DAVENPORT, FL (DTN) -- BP's 435,000 bpd Whiting, Indiana, refinery resumed 
operations on Friday (10/24) after a power outage prompted a temporary 
evacuation at the plant, the company said.

    "The bp Whiting Refinery experienced a short power outage caused by a 
disruption to electrical service that occurred outside of the refinery. Power 
was quickly restored, and the refinery resumed operations," according to a 
company statement released late Friday.

   "We activated our emergency response team and evacuated personnel out of an 
abundance of caution. All personnel have returned to their workstations. There 
were no impacts outside of the refinery," BP statement added.

   BP did not provide additional details regarding the latest outage.

   On October 16, the Whiting refinery - the largest in the Midwest - 
experienced flaring activity leading to multiple unit shutdowns, which caused 
high record prices on gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
