Texas Winter Deep Freeze Broke Refining, Petrochemical Supply Chains

Jesse Thompson

Southwest Economy, 2021, issue Second Quarter

Abstract: It may take the Texas petrochemical industry until year-end 2021 to fully recover from the record cold that triggered power outages and supply disruptions in mid-February. Production of basic petrochemical products used in a range of intermediate and consumer goods was interrupted, breaking supply chains already strained by COVID-19 and leading to price pressures and scores of product shortages.
