Read MoreHide Full Article
Chevron Corporation (CVX - Free Report) announced that its Richmond refinery, located near San Francisco, has successfully resumed operations after an overnight power outage caused by unplanned flaring. The incident led to the release of visible smoke from four smokestacks at the refinery, as reported by Dow Jones on Tuesday, citing a company filing with California regulators.
CVX initially encountered a series of unplanned unit shutdowns, resulting in the flaring incident. In response to the event, Chevron issued a Level 1 notification to the Community Warning System on the previous night. This decision was made due to the visibility of the flaring and the associated smoke. It's worth noting that a Level 1 incident, as clarified by Chevron, does not necessitate any specific action from the public.
The incident raised concerns about air quality and safety in the surrounding community. Chevron, however, has not reported any injury or environmental impact from the power outage and subsequent flaring. The company stated that the facility's overnight emissions of "large flames" and "black smoke" have been successfully brought under control, and flaring has ceased.
Chevron has been working diligently to address the issues and bring the Richmond refinery back online. The facility, which has a daily refining capacity of 245,000 barrels, plays a crucial role in Chevron's overall operations.Despite the temporary setback, Chevron has affirmed that the refinery's operations have resumed without interruption, ensuring a continuous supply to its customers.
