ExxonMobil said today that its Baytown and Beaumont refineries
have begun producing fuels at reduced rates and that crude oil
and refined product pipelines in the Gulf and other regions of
Texas have restarted as recovery continues from Hurricane
Harvey.
Offshore production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore
facilities have resumed normal operations.
“We are making good progress safely restoring our operations to
pre-storm levels,” said Jerry Wascom, president of ExxonMobil
Refining and Supply Company. “We have brought in gasoline, diesel
and jet fuel from other regions to supplement our own production to
ensure a quick return of reliable supply to our customers.”
Crude oil and refined product pipelines operated by ExxonMobil
Pipeline Company to and from the Baytown refinery are in service.
Pipelines from Baytown to San Antonio and Irving, Texas have
returned to full service and terminals in those locations have
reopened. Pipeline services to all ExxonMobil throughput and
exchange terminals have been restored. As a result, fuel supplies
available to consumers have largely returned to normal levels.
“Following the storm, we worked closely with our partners and
customers who sell our branded products to maximize the fuel
supplies that were available to consumers and emergency
responders,” said Bryan Milton, president of ExxonMobil Fuels,
Lubricants & Specialties Marketing Company. “It’s important to
recognize the role of our industry in enabling recovery from the
unprecedented impacts of Harvey.”
The company is working to restore chemical and lubricants
manufacturing operations. The Baytown chemical plant, Mont Belvieu
plastics plant and Beaumont polyethylene plant have resumed normal
operations. The Baytown olefins plant is operating at reduced
rates. The Beaumont chemical plant and the lubricants blending and
packaging plant have resumed operations and are ramping up toward
pre-storm production capacity.
“Because of our extensive planning and preparation efforts, we
were able to protect the infrastructure of our manufacturing plants
and are well positioned to resume operations at sites impacted by
the storm in a timely fashion,” said Neil Chapman, president of the
ExxonMobil Chemical Company.
ExxonMobil employees continue to dedicate countless hours and
resources to support recovery of communities impacted by effects of
the storm. The company’s employees have provided hands-on
assistance with flood relief by physically removing sheetrock and
insulation, caring for children, preparing meals and sorting
donations, among many other activities.
