On September 16th, BP confirmed a press report that it plans to permanently close one of the paraxylene lines at its Texas City Chemicals site in Texas.

This inform covers a range of topics, including: details of the closure; pressures that the polyester chain, and this asset in particular, have been facing; and overall impact this will eventually have on global balances.
