Exxon Mobil Corp. reported an equipment problem and gas emissions at its Baytown refinery near Houston.

"Unplanned compressor shutdown resulted in safe utilization of the flare system," the 560,000-barrel-a-day refinery said in a filing it sent to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, adding the incident caused "minimal impact to production."

Exxon said the emissions began Monday morning and lasted about six hours.
