Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) reported a gasket leak that led to gas emissions at its refinery in Baytown, Texas.

"Gasket leak on product coalescer drum resulted in emissions to atmosphere," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, noting the emissions happened Tuesday and lasted less than an hour. It said the incident happened at a hydrofining unit.

"The event has ended. There is minimal impact to production," Exxon said. "We expect to meet our contractual commitment."

The 561,000 barrel-a-day refinery is located about 25 miles east of Houston.
