In Corpus Christi? They are the largest refiner and port for oil in the US I believe. Problem is that they have ignored the water issues for years and now it's all but gone and there is no way to recover it. You can build desalinization plants but that takes time. They have a maybe a couple of months before significant restrictions have to implemented and barring significant rainfall, out of water completely either before or just into next year and will have to abandon the city.
The national and worldwide implications are staggering.

Futures markets are likely just starting to factor that in.
