LSB Pryor Plant Offline

LSB Industries Inc., Oklahoma City, announced Feb. 16 that on Feb. 12 it temporarily took its Pryor, Okla., facility out of service as a result of a recent surge in natural gas prices that has taken place in the region due to extremely cold temperatures. Also related to the cold weather, the operator of the pipeline that supplies natural gas to the Pryor facility is experiencing significant weather related gas supply impacts and, as a result, has curtailed gas distribution to commercial customers. LSB said it will restart production at Pryor as soon as natural gas prices and availability normalize.
