Dow Jones News
Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) said Tuesday that units at its refinery
near Joliet, Illinois, have begun scheduled tune-ups that were
supposed to start last month, but were postponed due to Hurricane
Harvey.
"Several units at the Joliet Refinery are undergoing planned
maintenance beginning Oct. 9, 2017," the company said in an email.
"The work was originally scheduled to begin in early September but
was deferred because of the temporary supply impacts related to
Hurricane Harvey. Customer commitments are being met."
The 239,000-barrel-a-day Joliet refinery, built in 1972, is
located 40 miles southwest of Chicago. Exxon says on its website
the daily production of gasoline and diesel fuel at Joliet is
"enough to drive an average car around the world more than 7,000
times."
