HOUSTON, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Production at Royal Dutch Shell
Plc’s 318,000 barrel-per-day joint-venture Deer Park,
Texas, refinery is shut due to unit outages following
malfunctions and severe cold weather, said sources familiar with
plant operations.
Shell shut the two primary fuel production units, the
gasoline-producing fluidic catalytic cracker (FCC) and the
diesel-producing hydrocracker, on Monday, one day after the
refinery’s crude distillation units (CDUs) were shut, the
sources said.
