ExxonMobil has shut down four units at its Baton Rouge, Louisiana, refinery as flooding in the area disrupted a nearby LPG storage facility. Via Reuters, the refinery could be forced to cut production further if disruptions at the Sorrento, Louisiana, Storage Facility persist. An ExxonMobil spokeswoman said the refinery continued to meet its contractual obligations.
Refineries in Louisiana have largely avoided disruptions amid historic flooding that has displaced thousands of residents. Bloomberg reports that Motiva will staff its Convent refinery with only essential personnel at least through today.
