摘要

In a third-quarter conference call October 27, Shell officials said that the expansion of the Motiva refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, is 90% complete and start-up procedures are expected to begin in the first half of the next year, Reuters reported. The refinery-jointly owned by Royal Dutch Shell plc and Saudi Aramco-is currently rated at 325,000 barrels per day (b/d) of input capacity and will expand to 600,000 b/d once the expansion is complete-making it one of the largest refineries in the Western Hemisphere.
