Phillips 66 (PSX) reported above-normal flaring of gas emissions over the weekend at its refinery in Borger, Texas.

"Emissions from the Cat Flare exceeded 500 pounds of sulfur dioxide due to flaring," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, noting it began Saturday and lasted five hours. "An investigation into the cause of the incident will be conducted."

The 146,000-barrel-a-day Borger refinery is located in the Texas panhandle northeast of Amarillo.
