Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) reported a boiler shutdown and gas emissions due to an operational disruption at its refinery in Beaumont, Texas.

"Process upset resulting in boiler shutdown," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. "Operations personnel have restored normal operations. The refinery anticipates no impact to production and continues to meet contractual agreements."

It said the incident resulted in above-normal emissions of gases, including carbon monoxide, that began Tuesday and lasted nearly nine hours.

The 362,000-barrel-a-day Beaumont refinery lies 90 miles east of Houston.
