Due to a failure, the largest refinery in the EU, the Shell plant in the Netherlands, stopped its work

Western media report on the shutdown of the largest oil refinery in the European Union. Reports say that a massive failure occurred at a Shell plant in the Netherlands, as a result of which the plant, which employs several thousand employees, had to be closed.

It all started, according to the local regulator, due to sudden problems with the power supply. This led to a shutdown of the main compression plant. It is used to turn oil into gasoline.



In order to prevent excess pressure in the system that could lead to an explosion, the company's management decided to increase the volume of combusted gaseous hydrocarbons by several times. As a result, the town of Pernis, where the refinery is located, and its surroundings, including the territory of Rotterdam, began to cloud over with caustic combustion products. The locals began to complain. The service of ecological monitoring has joined the work.

Shell Company:

We have informed the EU authorities about what happened at Europe's largest oil refinery. While we can not say when the work will be fully restored. Some inconvenience will continue.

The company's press secretary went on to say, in streamlined terms, that "all necessary measures are being taken, including measures to minimize collateral damage to citizens and the environment."

In connection with the shutdown of the refinery, the pumping of petroleum products through pipelines that connect the refinery with the port infrastructure of Rotterdam has been stopped. Accordingly, the shipment of fuel to tankers is not carried out yet. This could clearly affect the pricing of refined petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel and aviation kerosene.

        Petrov and Bashirov are not alone.
        In Russia, the Petrovs and Bashirovs of darkness.
        And hacking from the cradle they learn
        And the server is broken at times here and there.
        Petrov and Bashirov did not go to the Dutch,
        They were able to penetrate through the network,
        Let the enemies remember helping the Nazis,
        Without gasoline, let the boots knead the mud.

      And I think the Anglo-Saxons are operating .. Their task is to play off Russia with Europe again and unleash a war, both in the first and in the second And skim the cream, or rather, write off their debts of more than 30 trillion already in the United States of debt and inflation is rushing and their dollar is already no one really buys with Kazanse obligations .. Here is sabotage after sabotage! This is all good for Russia .. The West was the first to give up and began to make mistake after mistake ..

          Along the way, until the mattresses around the whole of Europe are dug a moat, no matter what a single energy molecule from Russia gets there, they will not calm down. If they decide that in relation to the Euro-economy it is necessary to carry out forced euthanasia, they will carry it out.

          If it arrived somewhere, it means that it left somewhere.
          The dollar rises solely because of the fall of its main competitor - the euro.
          When the euro collapses completely, the dollar will collapse quickly behind it.
          The United States is doing everything to suck finances from all over the world, and the financial crisis is exacerbating the situation. It's easy to get out of the crisis - to abandon the dollar. Everyone in the world understands this, but many politicians have their fortunes in dollars.
          And the Americans showed that they can rob anyone.
          So the smart ones are now deriving their fortunes from dollar dependence.

            If everything were so simple, everyone has long abandoned the Dollar, and the United States in the first place. But look at world quotes on all exchanges. All prices are in dollars. even if the calculations are in euros or rubles, the initial cost is in dollars. No one is interested in how much a ton of metal or wheat costs in Euros, or Japanese yens, all prices are in dollars.
            The dollar index is the value of the dollar relative to either 6 or 7 world currencies, I don’t remember, although now it may be different.
            Even Russian Urals oil is quoted in dollars. just like diamonds and nickel and palladium. And only then other currencies can be used in the calculations.

        and if not the West? If the USA and Europe are being destroyed by the same people who pushed the Russian Federation against Ukraine? Didn't think?

        I believe that the network organization of the globalists is destroying the entire world infrastructure. They also coined a word: "transformation". Actions are cleverly disguised as commercial-national or civilizational contradictions or as "unknown terrorists", when I begin to suspect everything and blame everyone ...

        "Unknown drones" are circling over the Norwegian mining platforms, there is a "strange situation" at one of the Norwegian processing plants... There has been a bit too much "strange" and "unknown" destructive nature lately.

        The goal of world globalism is exactly the same as that of the Bolsheviks in 1917 - World Revolution. Then they, however, resigned themselves to "one single country." I believe that the globalists will come to terms with the "Kolkhoz named after the West" in the end.

      Went into a series of accidents bully Although PERN Technical Services had earlier reported that there was no evidence of third-party intervention in the oil pipeline, nevertheless, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Polish Radio that some traces lead to the Kremlin. They went nuts there, now we are waiting for a message that the only air traffic controller of the Szczecin airport was also sent by the Russian hand for lunch, as a result of which the opening ceremony of the Norwegian-Danish-Polish gas pipeline Baltic Pipe had to be postponed for an hour due to the delay of the country's President Andrzej Duda. laughing

    Well, the automation worked properly. Surely, due to peak loads and the lack of reserve maneuvering capacities (they have savings there), there was a voltage drop. The result is predictable, because PCA will not wipe your "brains" with Europolitics. It's okay, but there is a bell. For example, they can make a peak restriction on housing and communal services or something else.

    The trail is right there! As soon as the export of Ukrainian electricity stopped, the interruptions began immediately! Obviously, Europeans are accustomed to semi-free energy from all sides ... Oil and gas are just the tip of the iceberg.

    "Everything is mixed up in the house..."
    This led to a shutdown of the main compression plant. It is used to turn oil into gasoline.
    A compressor is not needed for oil distillation. The compressor that compresses the gases of thermal cracking of heavy fractions remaining after oil refining has definitely taken off. And this gas is burned on a torch, because there is simply no place to store it. The surrounding population is not crying from the products of combustion, their toad is suffocating. They pay crazy money for gas, and here the flame is 50 meters high, or even higher.
