HOUSTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) – The Capline crude line is shipping oil from storage after Hurricane Ike, but normal flows await Gulf of Mexico production and tanker unloadings at the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, Shell (RDSa.L: Quote,Profile, Research) said on Sunday.
“We continue to make crude oil deliveries from St. James, Louisiana,” a news release said. “We’re ready to deliver at scheduled rates as soon as additional crude supply becomes available.”
Shell said it was evaluating a potential full restart schedule for the 632-mile system from Louisiana to Patoka, Illinois. At the northern end, capacity is more than 1.1 million barrels a day.
Capline, run by Shell, but owned by a group of companies, carries most of the imported cargoes delivered by ships to LOOP and U.S.-produced oil from the Gulf of Mexico to refineries in the Midwest.
“It depends on the supply we’re getting into those pipelines as to when they’re restarting,” a Shell spokeswoman said.
As of Sunday, the U.S. Minerals Management Service said 99.6 percent of Gulf oil output, which was 1.3 million barrels a day before the storm, remained shut.
LOOP hoped to being unloading ships by late Sunday as sea conditions improved in the wake of Ike, a spokeswoman said. (Reporting by Bruce Nichols; Editing by Andre Grenon)

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.
