(Updates to say outage was plant-wide, and power was restored)

Aug 15 (Reuters) – ExxonMobil anticipates some

impact on production from a plant-wide power failure at its

344,500 barrel-per-day refinery in Beaumont, Texas, it said in a

notice to state pollution regulators on Wednesday.

“Process streams were routed to the flare to minimize

emissions, and the power was restored,” the filing with the

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality said.

The filing said that all contractual commitments are

expected to be met.
