Shell says Deer Park refinery FCCU not down, at planned rates

Reuters - UK Focus

HOUSTON, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc (Xetra: R6C1.DE - news) 's U.S. arm Shell Oil Co said Wednesday that a 70,000 barrel per day (bpd) gasoline-producing fluidic catalytic cracking unit was not shut at its 327,000 bpd joint-venture Deer Park, Texas, refinery.

The unit went out of production on Feb. 8, sources told Reuters. Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) has previously declined to discuss the unit by name or provide an update on its status until Wednesday.

The Deer Park refinery is a 50-50 joint venture between Shell and Mexico's national oil company Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX).

The Deer Park refinery is one of nine U.S. refineries where members of the United Steelworkers union (USW) are on strike for a new three-year contract. Shell is the lead negotiator for U.S. refinery owners with the USW. (Reporting by Erwin Seba; Editing by Michael Perry)
