CONVENT - Shell announced on Nov. 5 their plans to begin shuttering its Convent refinery in the coming weeks after it failed to find a buyer for the facility.
According to a statement from the company, the location will begin the process of shutting down in mid-November. Shell had been looking for a buyer to take to the site since July but has been unsuccessful.
Shell said the decision to close the refinery is part of the company’s global strategy to invest in a core set of uniquely integrated manufacturing sites that are also strategically positioned for the transition to a low-carbon future.
