HOUSTON, June 26 (Reuters) – A unit at Shell Oil Products U.S. 156,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery in the Los Angeles suburb of Wilmington, California, was flaring on Monday afternoon because of a breakdown, according to reports filed with state and local public safety agencies.
A refinery spokeswoman declined to discuss the situation at the refinery.
One report said the flaring may have been caused by a crack in a weld on the unit.
