By Dan Molinski
Exxon Mobil Corp. reported an operational disruption that
resulted in excessive gas flaring over the weekend at its oil
refinery in Beaumont, Texas.
"A process unit upset occurred," Exxon said regarding its
hydrocracker unit in a statement to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality.
The oil and gas multinational said it met its contractual
agreements after it routed process streams to the flare to minimize
emissions.
Exxon said emissions of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and
other gases from the flaring disruption ended on Saturday after
about 24 hours.
The 366,000 barrel-a-day Beaumont refinery produces about 2.8
billion gallons of gasoline a year and is located 90 miles east of
Houston.
