Texas Storms Shut Wells and Fuel Rack as Plants Go Unscathed

Devon Energy Corp. shut wells and Kinder Morgan Inc. suspended operations at a fuel terminal southeast of Houston after storms flooded parts of Texas and cut power to tens of thousands. Refineries and pipelines continued to run.

Oklahoma City-based driller Devon stopped pumping from wells in areas affected by flooding in Texas, company spokesman John Porretto said by e-mail on Tuesday. Kinder Morgan suspended service at a complex in Pasadena, Texas, where trucks load gasoline and diesel after lightning affected the area’s electrical systems. Pipeline operators and refiners including Exxon Mobil Corp. and Enterprise Products Partners LP said they weren’t affected by the weather.
