Emergency services were fighting a fire Friday at the Shell
chemical complex at Deer Park, Texas, the Galena Park Fire
Department has reported.
Pemex Deer Park posted on the CAER Line (Community Awareness
Emergency Response Line) that there "is no fire at Pemex Deer Park
units. However, our [PEMEX]emergency respond team is providing aid
to another company that is located onsite."
According to a separate message from Shell posted on the CAER
Line, "We are currently experiencing a fire within one of our
units. The incident is being handled within the boundaries of this
facility and there is no threat to the community form this
incident."
A Pemex spokesperson told OPIS that Pemex and Shell are working
to control the fire, confirming that the refining segment at Deer
Park owned by the Mexico state-owned company is unharmed.
A Shell spokesperson could not be immediately reached for
comment.
There was a fire at the same plant in February, according to the
local TV station ABC 13.
Response in the Gulf Coast refined spot market had not
materialized by early Friday evening, with spot prices across the
