Shell plans to repurpose its energy and chemicals park near Cologne, meaning the crude processing unit will be offline for a few weeks.
Shell is planning extensive work and a turnaround at the Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland near Cologne, Germany ’s biggest oil-refining complex, in the autumn of 2024, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, quoting sources with knowledge of the plans. The turnaround means that the crude processing unit would be offline for at least a few weeks and supply to the market from the refinery would be reduced.
Shell Deutschland GmbH has taken a final investment decision FID to turn the Wesseling site at the Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland into a manufacturing facility for Group III base oils, used in making high-quality lubricants such as engine and transmission oils, the supermajor said in January. Under Shell’s plan, crude oil processing will end at the Wesseling site by 2025 but will continue at the Godorf site.
