<li>As of Tuesday evening, the city of Houston and the EPA are investigating a "potentially dangerous plume" at a Valero oil refinery, which reported a benzene leak Aug. 27 as a result of hurricane damage, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/after-oil-refinery-is-damaged-by-harvey-benzene-is-detected-in-the-air-in-houston-area-1504638772" target="_blank">according to the Wall Street Journal</a>.

<h3>Dive Insight:</h3>
<p>While ports, rail, trucking and air freight are bouncing back more quickly than first expected, the local oil industry still struggles with severe hurricane damage and dangerous leaks, which may completely shut down their supply chains if the complications aren't contained quickly.</p>
<p>Not only are the leaks hazardous to the environment, they're also hazardous to the human population, as exposure to high levels of benzene are <a href="https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/benzene.html" target="_blank">known to cause cancer</a>. If refineries have to shut down to mitigate the risk of leaks or to contain Harvey damage, the oil supply chain may be delayed even more.</p>
<p>Although gas prices fell Monday, they're still likely to rise as crude oil operations still lag behind. Because there are so many moving parts to the oil industry, it is too soon to know how severe the damage will be, apart from periodic delays as the industry recovers.</p>
<p>Supply chain managers should still expect and plan for delays with regard to Texas operations and prepare for a potential fuel price hike. It's good news that freight and the oil industry are resuming operations quickly, but it will take some time before companies understand the full scope of damage and profit loss and the effect it will have on supply chains.</p>
