Offshore and on-shore upstream production operating normally: Exxon
In a post-Harvey update, ExxonMobil (ticker: XOM) reported that its Baytown and Beaumont refineries have begun producing fuels at reduced rates, and that crude oil and refined product pipelines in the Gulf and other regions of Texas have restarted as recovery continues from Hurricane Harvey.
Offshore production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore facilities have resumed normal operations, the company said.
Jerry Wascom, president of ExxonMobil Refining and Supply Company said the company had brought in gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from other regions to supplement its own production.

Exxon said the Baytown chemical plant, Mont Belvieu plastics plant and Beaumont polyethylene plant have resumed normal operations. The Baytown olefins plant is operating at reduced rates. The Beaumont chemical plant and the lubricants blending and packaging plant have resumed operations and are ramping up toward pre-storm production capacity.
