Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) reported an operational snag and flaring of gas emissions at its McKee refinery in the Texas panhandle.

"The Valero McKee Refinery experienced an upset of the Flare Gas Recovery System causing a malfunction of the Flare Gas Recovery compressors which led to intermittent flaring," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

The refinery said the emissions-flaring began Wednesday and ended Thursday afternoon.

The nearly 200,000-barrel-a-day refinery is located in Sunray, 65 miles north of Amarillo.
