SYDNEY, Jan 25 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) will partially shut down its 125,000 barrels per day (bpd) Geelong refinery in Australia for scheduled maintenance work from Feb. 1 for about eight weeks, two industry sources said on Friday.
“There are no production problems. It’s just some regular maintenance and they are going to have a partial shutdown,” said an industry source who declined to be identified.
The source said the turnaround was expected to last about eight weeks but he could not provide details on which units would close.
An official from the refinery confirmed the planned turnaround but did not provide more details.
Shell could not be immediately reached for comments. The company rarely comments on its maintenance schedules.
The Geelong refinery, located in the southeastern state of Victoria, buys about 90 percent of its crude and other feedstock from Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and New Zealand. (Reporting by Fayen Wong)

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.
