Shell will this month shut its 228,000 b/d refinery in Convent, Louisiana, the company said today.

The oil major notified workers of plans to begin shutting down the facility in mid-November while continuing to seek a buyer for the refinery. Shell began marketing the facility in July but has not found a buyer.

"After looking at all aspects of our business, including financial performance, we made the difficult decision to shut down the site," the company said.

Shell plans to sell at least five refineries, including its 145,000 b/d Puget Sound Refinery in Anacortes, Washington, and 75,000 b/d Sarnia complex in Ontario, Canada.
