NEW YORK, March 23 (Reuters) - BP (BP.L: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Wednesday that damage to its 470,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Texas City, Texas, refinery was isolated following an explosion, and other parts of the plant remained in operation.

The explosion struck in an isomerization unit, near a fluid catalytic cracker and coker unit that were undergoing maintenance work.

"BP can confirm the affected unit is an isomerization unit -- this is a unit that produces components that are used in gasoline to raise octane -- we have several units on this site that produce various octane enhancing components," said a statement issued by BP.
