HOUSTON, March 11 (Reuters) – Shell Oil Co.’s (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) 156,000 barrel per day (bpd) San Francisco Bay-area refinery in Martinez was “not at normal operations” on Sunday night as the plant struggles to restart boilers shut since Friday, a refinery spokesman said.
Those carbon monoxide boilers that are closed supply steam to the refinery’s gasoline-producing 73,000 bpd fluidic catalytic cracking (FCC) unit along with other units, said spokesman Steve Lesher.
Steam is most often used in an FCC to boost feedstock hydrocarbons and catalyst through the cracking process and into the area where the catalyst is separated from the hydrocarbons.
No date has been set for completing the repair work, Lesher said.

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.
