NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Shell Oil Co. on Monday said a small, early day fire at an unspecified location at its joint venture, Deer Park, Texas, oil refinery was quickly extinguished.
For competitive reasons, the company wouldn't provide details on the operational status of the plant.
"There was no impact to employees, the surrounding community or industry neighbors," company representative Ted Rolfvondenbaumen said.
The Deer Park refinery has the capacity to process 340,000 barrels of crude oil a day. It is jointly owned by a unit of Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA, RDSB) and Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex.
