Texaco fuel card news: Hawaii tsunami leaves oil refineries unscathed

01 March, 10
Texaco's parent company Chevron and Royal Dutch Shell have reported no damage to oil refineries after Saturday's tsunami in Hawaii, according to the Wall Street Journal. Fuel suppliers have therefore had minimal disruption and terminals are anticipated to restart normal operation soon.

Alarms were raised on Saturday causing fuel terminals and refineries to go into lockdown after concerns that six to ten foot waves could hit the area following the Chile earthquake.

The tsunami was less severe than expected, causing less damage to oil infrastructure than was feared.

Sean Comey, spokesman for the Chevron owned refinery, told the Wall Street Journal that "there was no damage" and the 54,000 barrel a day refinery would "continue to supply products to the market".

Royal Dutch Shell is also planning to resume operations at its fuel terminals "as quickly as it is safe to do so", said Jill Davis, spokeswoman for the company.

Despite the tsunami being less severe than expected, authorities are defending the precautions taken. Dai Lin Wang, an oceanographer at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii, said: "It's a key point to remember that we cannot under-warn. Failure to warn is not an option for us."
