据道琼斯10月18日消息，埃克森美孚称，公司旗下得克萨斯州贝城炼油厂周三因一个操作问题导致气体泄露。
这家炼油厂表示“安全减压阀门开启导致气体泄露到空气中，此事对生产的影响非常小，我们预计公司能够履行合同承诺。”
日加工能力达到56.1万桶的贝城炼油厂位于休斯顿以东25英里（处，是美国第二大炼油厂，仅次于沙特阿美位旗下60万桶/日加工能力的Motiva亚瑟港炼油厂。

DJ Exxon Reports Operational Snag at Baytown, Texas, Refinery
Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) said an operational snag led to gas emissions Wednesday at its refinery in Baytown, Texas.
"Safety relief valve lifted resulting in emissions to the atmosphere," the refinery said. "There is minimal impact to production. We expect to meet our contractual commitments."
The 561,000 barrel-a-day Baytown refinery, located 25 miles east of Houston, is the nation's second-largest refinery after Saudi Aramco's 600,000 barrel-a-day Motiva Port Arthur refinery.
