Shell plans turnaround at Scotford, Alberta, upgrader in spring 2015

CALGARY, Alberta, March 25 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc (Xetra: R6C1.DE - news) will carry out a planned turnaround at its 255,000 barrel per day Scotford upgrader in northern Alberta during spring of this year, a company spokesman said on Wednesday.

Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) spokesman Cameron Yost said the turnaround was an activity that took place every four to five years.

"We do have a turnaround this year. It's not small-scale maintenance," Yost said, although he declined to give details of how much production would be offline or how long the maintenance would last. (Reporting by Nia Williams; Editing by Chris Reese)
