Royal Dutch Shell Plc will keep its Singapore refinery shut until investigations into a fire last week are done, it said as government firefighters left the site.
Shell shut the offshore Pulau Bukom plant, its largest globally, after the fire started Sept. 28 and suspended fuel shipments to some clients. It is talking to customers about their supply needs, according to today’s statement. The 500,000 barrel-a-day refinery exports 90 percent of its products to the Asia-Pacific, Europe’s largest oil company says on its website.
