Valero Energy Corp. reported flaring and a loss of feed gas to a unit at one of its refineries in Corpus Christi, Texas.

"The Shoup Plant, a third-party facility, experienced an unexpected power interruption, resulting in loss of feed gas to the 04 LEU unit. Flaring was required during this period," the company said in a statement posted Wednesday on the website of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

The incident affected the Bill Greehey refineries complex's 210,000 barrel-a-day West Plant. The flaring began Tuesday afternoon and ended later that night, Valero said.

It wasn't clear if production was affected. Representatives from Valero weren't immediately available.
