DEER PARK, Texas – Royal Dutch Shell PLC said on Wednesday that it would cut crude runs at its Deer Park, Texas, refinery due to a shutdown of Mexican oil production caused by Hurricane Dean.
Shell and a subsidiary of Mexico’s state-owned oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos, entered a joint venture at the South Texas refinery in 1993, with each holding a 50 percent stake. Pemex began shutting down offshore production on Sunday in the Bay of Campeche, which was along the hurricane’s path.
About 80 percent of the 340,000 barrels of crude oil that are refined each day at Deer Park come from Mexico. Shell did not say how much it would crude oil it would reduce processing.
Pemex rigs remained shut down Wednesday afternoon, suspending a daily production of 2.7 million barrels of oil and 2.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas. However, the company said its offshore platforms and loading facilities should emerge without major damage.

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.
