Exxon Mobil reported an operational snag and gas flaring at a gasoline-making unit of its oil refinery in Beaumont, Texas.
“Process upset resulted in flaring,” the refinery said in a regulatory filing with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, noting it happened at a fluid catalytic cracking unit. It said the above-normal emissions of carbon monoxide and other gases ended Wednesday, lasting more than eight hours.
“Normal operations have been restored,” the refinery said. “All contractual commitments are anticipated to be met at this time.”
The Exxon Beaumont refinery expanded earlier this year and now has a 630,000-barrel-a-day crude-distillation capacity, making it one of the nation’s largest refineries.
