HOUSTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) – Workers were attempting to repair a propane leak on Wednesday that forced the evacuation of workers from a section of Shell Oil Co.’s joint-venture 334,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) refinery in Deer Park, Texas, according to a report on a Houston television station.
A spokesman for Deer Park Refining L.P., which operates the refinery, was not immediately available to discuss plant operations.
The leak began early on Wednesday morning, according to KHOU-TV.
Deer Park has been restarting 20 units that underwent annual overhaul at the refinery.
A propane leak ignited into a fire on Feb. 16 that shut Valero Energy Corp.’s (VLO.N: Quote, Profile , Research) Sunray, Texas, refinery.
Deer Park Refining is a 50-50 joint venture between Mexican state oil company Pemex and Shell Oil, the U.S. unit of Royal Dutch Shell Plc. (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research).

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.
