Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) reported above-normal gas emissions over the long weekend at its refinery in Baytown, Texas, and said it caused "minimal" impact to production.

"The Pipestill 8 Stripper overhead safety valve lifted prematurely during normal operations and resulted in safe utilization of the flare system," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. " There is minimal impact to production. We expect to meet our contractual commitments."

It said the emissions happened Monday, lasting 12 hours, and included more than 1,000 pounds of carbon monoxide.

The 561,000 Baytown refinery is 25 miles east of Houston.
