据安迅思能源9月15日消息称，据路透社报道，美国墨西哥湾最大的石油生产商荷兰皇家壳牌公司周一表示，其位于路易斯安那州的盖斯马化工厂将重新启动。两周前，该工厂因飓风艾达(Ida)而被迫关闭。
该公司在一份声明中表示：“该工厂继续受到公用事业和原料的限制，但已恢复装载能力和运输产品。”
Norco至Kenner的输油管道将汽油、柴油和航空燃料输送到壳牌位于新奥尔良路易斯·阿姆斯特朗国际机场的终端，该管道也已恢复服务。
壳牌表示，其Appomattox、Enchilada/Salsa和Auger平台继续增产，而Mars、Ursa和Olympus资产仍处于关闭状态。与此同时，壳牌管道公司运营的 West Delta-143 海上设施的损失评估仍在继续。
正如MRC之前所写的，壳牌在其位于路易斯安那州Norco的日产230611桶炼油厂发现了建筑损坏的证据。但熟悉工厂运营的消息人士不知道损坏的程度或进行维修所需的时间。壳牌正在等待 Norco 炼油和化工厂综合设施的外部电力恢复。

Shell restarting chemical facility in Geismar
Royal Dutch Shell, the largest oil producer in the US Gulf of Mexico, said align="justify"> “The site continues to experience utility and feedstock constraints but has resumed loading capabilities and shipping product,” the company said in a statement.
The Norco to Kenner pipeline, which carries gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to the Shell terminal at the Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, has also been returned to service.
Shell’s Appomattox, Enchilada/Salsa, and Auger platforms continue to ramp up production, while its Mars, Ursa, and Olympus assets remain shut in, the company said. Meanwhile, damage assessments continued at the Shell Pipeline-operated West Delta-143 offshore facility.
As MRC wrote previously, Shell found evidence of building damage at its 230,611-bpd Norco, Louisiana refinery. But sources familiar with plant operations did not know the extent of the damage or time needed to make the repairs. Shell is awaiting the restoration of external electrical power to the Norco refining and chemical plant complex.
