    Feb 16 (Reuters) - Eneos Corp  5020.T , Japan's biggest
crude oil processor, said on Tuesday that the two crude
distillation units at its 270,000 barrel per day Negishi
refinery were running normally after a quake on Saturday night.
    No restart date was available, the spokesman said, declining
to provide further details.
    There was also no start date for the company's Sendai
refinery, which shut down automatically as the quake struck
nearby, the spokesman said, without providing more detail.
    The 7.3-magnitude quake caused the shutdown of about a fifth
of Japan's refining capacity, as well as injuries and some
damage across a wide area of Japan.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2KL0ME 
    Capacity is quickly being restored, though. Fuji Oil    
 2607.T  has restarted a refinery that was shut down
automatically by the quake.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL4N2KM1X7
