Fallout continues as Texas oil spill cleanup underway

摘要

Houston-As the cleanup from an oil tanker spill in the Sabine-Neches Waterway at Port Arthur, Texas, progressed into its fourth day on January 26, one of the area refiners, Motiva Enterprises, said it cut production rates due to the holdup in shipping. Motiva said it was running its 285,000 b/d refinery in Port Arthur at reduced rates due to the closure of the waterway. The company was still able to meet customer demand through other sources of supply, spokeswoman Jill Davis said in a statement. Motiva is a 50:50 joint venture between Shell and Saudi Refining.
