Shell plans April shutdown of crude unit at Sarnia refinery

Reuters - UK Focus

By Jarrett Renshaw

NEW YORK, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell (Xetra: R6C1.DE - news) plans to shut one of two crude units at its 70,000-barrel-per-day refinery for 45 days in April, a person familiar with the operations said.

The 35,000-bpd crude unit is being shut down in order to replace the desalter, which removes salt from crude oil, the person said.

The shutdown is expected to begin on April 1, but could be postponed a few weeks depending on the market, the person said.

A company spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
