Oct. 2 (Bloomberg) — BP Plc, Europe’s second-largest oil company, plans to flare certain gases later this week and into next at its Carson, California, refinery, according to a state- run Web site.
The flaring will begin Oct. 4 and last until Oct. 15, according to the Web site of the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Gases that will be released into the atmosphere include sulfur dioxide, the Web site said.
The flaring will occur as the company prepares to shut at least two units for maintenance this month, according to a person familiar with the plant’s operations who asked to not be identified. The repairs will last a few weeks and the refinery will shut a crude unit and a coker unit, the person said.
Valerie Corr, a BP spokeswoman, said in an interview that the company doesn’t disclose details about refinery operations.
The Carson refinery can process about 260,000 barrels of crude oil a day into products such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, according to U.S. government data.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc is the largest European oil company.

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.
