NEW YORK, June 2 - Murphy Oil Co (MUR.N) is restarting its 35,000-barrel-per-day Superior, Wisconsin, refinery after a power outage Tuesday morning, a spokesman said Tuesday.

The refinery was hit with a brief power outage lasting about 30 minutes, spokesman Dory Stiles said.

Stiles said he could not provide a timeline for the refinery's return to full rates but said with the restart under way, it should be "not before long."
