UPDATE 1-Shell has temporary upset at Deer Park site
TORONTO, Nov 6 (Reuters) - A temporary process upset in a unit at Shell's (RDSa.L) Deer Park, Texas, site early Friday morning caused flaring, according to a message on a community information telephone line.
A maintenance turnaround at the facility, which began in September, is in the process of ending. The company said that the shutdown and restart of the process units could result in higher-than-normal flaring during the first week of November.
It was unclear from the message if the upset was in the refinery or the chemical side of the facility where Shell operates a 332,000 barrel-per-day joint venture refinery with Mexico's state oil company, Pemex.
The facility also has a chemical plant which makes base chemicals used in the manufacture of consumer products.
A company spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment.
