Shell says Norco refinery stable; reformer shut after fire

07 Aug, 2017

Shell spokesman Ray Fisher said Monday a unit was shut at the Norco Manufacturing Complex after a fire on Saturday but declined to identify the unit.

"There is no timetable for the restart of that unit," Fisher said. "Operations are stable."

The 40,000 bpd reformer is expected to require a week of repairs from damage due to the flange fire, the sources said.

Fisher said there were no injuries due to the fire.
