BEIJING--Chevron Corp. (CVX) has suspended operations at a lubricants facility in China's eastern city of Tianjin following an explosion at a nearby warehouse that killed dozens.

A Chevron spokesman said in a statement that the Chevron facility, located about 5 kilometers from the blast site, "did not sustain immediate visible damage."

Chevron said operations would resume "once the blast area is stabilized."

The spokesman said the company doesn't expect its lubricants-product supply to be impacted by the facility's suspension.
