(Reuters) Production at Motiva Enterprises 603 Mbpd Port Arthur, Texas, refinery was unaffected by a leak of hydrogen sulfide from sulfur recovery unit 2 over the weekend, said sources familiar with plant operations.

Motiva filed a notice with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality that said an estimated 301 pounds of hydrogen sulfide were released in the leak, which lasted 5-1/2 hours from Saturday night into Sunday morning.
