Shell Oil Co has reported flooding Saturday afternoon in the chemical plant of its Deer Park, Texas, refining and petrochemical complex as storms dumped over 8 inches (20 centimeters) of rain on the area, as per Reuters. A source familiar with operations at the 316,600 bpd joint-venture Deer Park Refinery knew of no problems at the refinery due to the flooding. In a message on a system to inform nearby residents of malfunctions within the complex, Shell said the flooding created "an unauthorized discharge due to an oil-sheen carryover at one of the facility's stormwater outfalls."
