As of 1:00 p.m on Sunday, Shell was are in the process of contacting their retailers and wholesalers in areas impacted by Hurricane Ike. They have contacted more than 40 percent of our operators and are pleased to report they are safe.

Stations in high-impact areas, such as Houston, Galveston, Beaumont and surrounding areas are still under assessment. Initial reports indicate damage is moderate, however the majority of the stations are closed due to power outages or availability of site personnel.

Shell stated that they are working with the local power company to try to ensure stations along reentry routes are on the priority list for power restoration. We have generators and will deploy them to ensure Shell stations in strategic areas can be reopen as soon as it is safe.

The Pasadena Terminal did not sustain significant damage and is now open. Shell is currently running the safety review at our Beaumont terminal, which is anticipated to reopen this afternoon.

The Houston Terminal has sustained damage, and is being assessed further.
