Exxon Mobil reportedly shut its 264,000-barrel-per-day Joliet, Illinois refinery after a power outage Sunday afternoon, taking roughly 11 million gallons of daily gasoline and diesel production offline. Power was restored within hours, but the cause remains under investigation, with lIR Energy expecting normal operations by the end of the week. The shutdown comes as fuel markets remain tight amid the Iran war and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, while U.S. diesel prices recently topped $6 a gallon.
