SHELL’S heavy-oil upgrader in Scotford, Alberta, near the provincial capital of Edmonton, has leaked potentially deadly sour gas for the second time in less than a week, writes Dann Rogers.
Alberta’s Energy & Utilities Board said small quantities of hydrogen sulphide, also known as sour gas, and sulphur dioxide leaked from a hydrogen cracking unit at the plant.
The leaky unit had to be depressurised, and during that time Shell sprayed the unit with water to keep it cool and prevent the hydrogen sulphide, which is highly flammable, from catching fire.
Air-quality tests did not detect any sour gas in the immediate area, and there were no
injuries. About 1400 workers from the plant and surrounding chemical plants were evacuated to safe locations, said a Shell spokesman. There were no injuries, he added.
People in about 120 residences and businesses within a five-kilometre radius of the plant were also called and told to stay indoors until further notice, Provencal said.
“We did the off-site and on-site air monitoring throughout the incident and after the inci¬dent there were no levels of concern detected off-site,” he said.
Alberta’s environment department said it plans to meet with Shell to discuss why there have been two leaks in under a week.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
