Royal Dutch Shell Plc plans to idle a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) at the joint-venture Deer Park, Texas, refinery in 2021, said Shell spokesman Curtis Smith.
Currently, the refinery is operating at about 75% of its 318,000 barrel-per-day capacity because of reduced demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, said sources familiar with plant operations.
Smith said the decision to idle the SRU, one of six at the refinery, came after a review of operations at the refinery. “We continually assess all aspects of our business to ensure we remain competitive in an ever-tightening market,” Smith said. “As part of that process, we have made the decision to shut down one of Deer Park’s sulfur recovery units next year.”The Deer Park refinery is a 50-50 joint-venture between Shell and Petroleos Mexicanos , Mexico’s national oil company. Shell is the managing partner.
