Shell flaring

From Shell:

There will be intermittent flaring at Shell Deer Park over the next few days as the company restarts the refinery and chemical plant. 

The site was shut down last week in preparation for Hurricane Ike.  Shell is pleased to report there were no personal injuries and minor damage to the facility has been repaired.

Local residents may observe smoke, light and noise from the flares.  Shell will make every effort to minimize the flaring, but wants residents to know that flaring at night may occur. 

Shell apologizes for any disturbance this may cause.

Shell continues to focus on safety and protecting the environment as we return to normal operations.
