SYDNEY, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc's (RDSa.L) Australian unit said on Thursday its Clyde refinery in Sydney would temporarily shut down its refining process units for maintenance work at the end of November.

During the shutdown there would be no processing of petroleum products at the refinery, with all supplies to the market to be sourced from imports, Shell said in a statement.

The company did not say when the Clyde refinery would resume full production. (Reporting by James Thornhill)
