(Reuters) Royal Dutch Shell’s 285 Mbpd JV Deer Park, Texas, refinery plans to restart the gasoline unit after repairing thin piping found last week at the end of a planned overhaul, sources familiar with plant operations said.
A Shell spokesman said on Wednesday that operations at the Deer Park refinery were stable.
The 70 Mbpd, gasoline-producing fluidic catalytic cracking unit was shut on September 12 for the overhaul, which was scheduled to end in the last full week of October, but was delayed after the discovery of thin piping on the unit.
The Deer Park refinery is a 50-50 JV between Shell and Peroleos Mexicanos.
