Probe: Exxon deficiencies found in California refinery blast

An explosion at an ExxonMobil oil refinery in California last year could have been prevented if managers had taken into account aging safety equipment and shut down a key, spark-generating part of the refinery before attempting repairs elsewhere, federal investigators said Wednesday. The unit being repaired had operated for five years without a maintenance overhaul and, as a result, a key valve failed and leaked volatile hydrocarbons into an electrostatic chamber where the material combusted, the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board said.

PG&E executives resisted efforts to reform the flawed record-keeping that was a key cause of a fatal explosion in San Bruno, according to a witness that federal prosecutors intend to present at a criminal trial for PG&E that's linked to the disaster. "It troubles us very much to see that there was this push-back from PG&E executives, and it shows that there continues to be a culture of business as usual at PG&E and prioritization of profits over safety," said Connie Jackson, San Bruno's city manager.
