Motiva Enterprise reported an operational disruption and
above-normal flaring of gases over the weekend at its oil refinery
in Port Arthur, Texas.
"The Motiva Port Arthur Manufacturing Complex experienced a
process incident at the refinery that resulted in flaring with
emissions in excess of a reportable quantity," the refinery said in
a statement late Sunday to the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality.
It said the emissions of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and
other gases began Saturday just before midnight and ended Sunday
morning, lasting about five hours total.
The 603,000-barrel-a-day Motiva Port Arthur refinery, located
east of Houston, is owned by Saudi Arabia's state-controlled Aramco
and is the largest oil refinery in the U.S.
