Notes
Exxon Mobil reported a unit upset at Joliet refinery on Feb 5, 2026, indicating the facility is operational but experiencing temporary operational issues. A unit upset is a temporary malfunction, not a complete shutdown. This contradicts the database status of 'closed' with 0% utilization. The facility appears to be running with reduced capacity due to the upset.
