   DAVENPORT, FL (DTN) -- PEMEX reported planned work maintenance at its 
312,500 bpd Deer Park Refinery in Texas, with elevated flaring expected to 
continue for the next several weeks, according to a community notice posted 
through the Community Awareness Emergency Response (CAER) system.

   According to the notice, neighbors may observe a small- to medium-sized 
orange flare visible from the facility during the work period. The company said 
it is taking steps to minimize any noise, light and smoke associated with the 
activity.

   In the filing, PEMEX said flaring plays a key role in maintaining safe 
operations and added that once hydrocarbons are routed to flare, potential 
emissions are reduced by at least 98%.

   The Deer Park refinery primarily produces gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.

   DTN reached out to PEMEX to confirm the planned work schedule, expected 
duration and any operational impacts but did not get an immediate response.
