Exxon says refinery reduced after olefins plant fire

Exxon Mobil Corp said that production at its 560,500-barrel-per-day (bpd) Baytown, Texas refinery has been reduced following a fire on Wednesday in the company’s adjoining olefins plant.

Exxon said the production was reduced across the Baytown refining and petrochemical complex because of the fire in a propylene recovery unit, which has been shut down.
