Shell Plans January-April Turnaround at Pernis Refinery Near Rotterdam -- OPIS

Dow Jones News
Shell said Wednesday it will start maintenance work at its
Pernis refinery near Rotterdam in late January.
The U.K.-headquartered oil group said on X, the former Twitter,
that the work is expected to be completed in mid-April. Several
units will be cleaned, inspected and some parts will be replaced,
which may involve flaring at the site.
With a capacity of 404,000 barrels/day, Pernis is the largest
oil refinery in Europe.
The upcoming refinery maintenance season in Europe could be more
intense than usual because operators may have postponed turnarounds
during 2022 and 2023 to take advantage of abnormally high refinery
margins.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects refinery runs in
Europe (OECD and non-OECD) to seasonally dip to 11.2 million b/d by
March, compared with a high of 12.1 million b/d in December
2023.
