ExxonMobil Joliet refinery (U.S.) running unit at reduced rate

ExxonMobil was operating the catalytic cracker unit at its 275,000-bpd Joliet, Illinois (U.S.) refinery at reduced rates earlier this week. The refinery ran its 98,000-bpd catalytic cracker unit at approximately 50% capacity due to unspecified mechanical issues.

"We are conducting maintenance at our Joliet refinery, and we are working to complete it as safely and quickly as possible," an ExxonMobil spokesperson said. They declined to comment on the specifics of operational maintenance.

The company said on Tuesday it was working to resolve an operational issue at the Joliet refinery.
