Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) said an operational snag led to gas emissions Wednesday at its refinery in Baytown, Texas.

"Safety relief valve lifted resulting in emissions to the atmosphere," the refinery said. "There is minimal impact to production. We expect to meet our contractual commitments."

The 561,000 barrel-a-day Baytown refinery, located 25 miles east of Houston, is the nation's second-largest refinery after Saudi Aramco's 600,000 barrel-a-day Motiva Port Arthur refinery.
