Royal Dutch Shell PLC reported a leak at the gasoline-making unit of its Deer Park refinery in the Houston area.
“Personnel discovered a leak of naphtha from an elevated pipeline at the Catalytic Cracking Unit,” it said in a filing to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
It said the incident caused emissions that began Wednesday night and ended Thursday afternoon.
The Deer Park refinery is a joint venture between Shell and Mexico’s national oil company Pemex.
