HOUSTON – Shell says it plans to shut its Odyssey and Delta crude oil pipeline system offshore Louisiana for two weeks in September, according to a Reuters report.
The shutdown is for planned maintenance, and will take place in early-to-mid September.
The pipelines transport Heavy Louisiana Sweet crude from offshore oilfields and switching to other pipelines is not an option, Shell added.
The Odyssey pipeline in the eastern Gulf of Mexico has a 220,000 bbl/d capacity and is connected to the Delta pipeline with deliveries into terminals in Louisiana and to Shell’s Norco refinery.
