Shell Plant in Deer Park Facing Extended Flaring Issues
The night sky in Deer Park, Texas was illuminated by the flames of a fire that started at the Shell plant and is expected to last for the next few days.
Flaring at the Shell plant in Deer Park began around 9 a.m. on Monday and continued into the night.
According to Shell, the flaring is the result of an issue with a third party and is expected to persist for several days.
