SINGAPORE, Jan 17 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) has shut down several key processing units at its 333,000 barrel per day, joint-venture refinery in Deer Park, Texas for scheduled maintenance, the company said in a filing on Thursday.
The fluid catalytic cracker, cat cracked gasoline hydrotreater, alkylation unit, girbotol unit, and sulfur recovery units 3, 4 and 5 have been shut down and were expected to resume operations on Feb. 4, Shell said in a filing with the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality.
Shell told Reuters earlier this month it expected the refinery to operate at reduced rates during the turnaround but did not foresee problems in supplying customers because of the long lead time in planning for the work.
The refinery is jointly-owned by Anglo-Dutch Shell and Petroleos de Mexicanos, Mexico’s state 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.
