The Clyde Refinery was an Australian refinery owned by the Royal Dutch Shell in Clyde, Sydney . It was located at the confluence of the Duck River in the Parramatta River .
history
The refinery was built in 1925 by John Fell and Company Pty Ltd and was taken over by Shell in 1928. The Australian refineries came under increasing pressure due to large overcapacities in Asia. Shell then announced in April 2011 that it would shut down the Clyde refinery. Production ended on September 30, 2012. Shell converted the refinery and Gore Bay Terminal into a mineral oil import station.
On February 21, 2016, four chimneys of the former refinery were blown up, and another followed on February 22.
Technical specifications
The crude oil was delivered by pipeline from the Gore Bay Terminal near Greenwich .
