March 5 (Bloomberg) — A power outage at Royal Dutch Shell Plc.’s refinery in Wilmington, California, caused the release of chemicals into the air early today, according to a report on a state-administered Web site.
A company spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
The refinery has the capacity to process 98,500 barrels of crude oil a day, according to U.S. Energy Department data.
Dow Jones Newswires reported on Feb. 28 that a gasoline- production unit at the plant will be shut March 1 for about five weeks of planned maintenance.
On Jan. 29, Tesoro Corp., the second-largest refiner in the Western U.S., agreed to buy the plant and 250 filling stations for $1.63 billion. The largest refiner in the West is Chevron Corp.

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.
