HOUSTON, Jan 4 (Reuters) – A big maintenance turnaround will reduce operations at Deer Park Refining Co. in Texas for a month, starting next week, Shell Oil Co. (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) said Thursday.
Plans are to shut down a 270,000-barrel-a-day distiller, a 67,000-barrel selective hydrocracker and an 85,000-barrel delayed coker, Shell said, confirming trade reports.
The work involving 19 process units is to begin Wednesday and continue into mid-February, Shell said. Replacement of four coker drums and regular upkeep are planned.
The 360,000-barrel-a-day plant, a partnership of Shell and Mexico’s state oil company, Pemex, will keep a 70,000-barrel distiller and downstream units running, Shell said.
