Update 3

September 20, 2021

Shell Midstream Partners, L.P. (NYSE:SHLX) ("Shell Midstream Partners" or the "Partnership") and Shell Pipeline Company LP ("SPLC") have substantially completed Hurricane Ida impact assessments on most of their owned or operated assets in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore Louisiana. The Partnership can report the following at this time:

  • Gulf of Mexico Pipelines:
  1. The Partnership's operated pipelines, including Amberjack, Auger, Mattox, Proteus, Endymion, Odyssey, Delta and Na Kika, have been returned to normal operating service after successfully completing all needed safety and stand-up tests.
    1. Mars: Shell Offshore Inc. and SPLC have conducted a comprehensive damage assessment on the West Delta-143("WD-143") offshore facilities.
      • Due to the damage discovered, it is estimated that some parts of the WD-143 facilities will be offline for repairs into Q4 2021 and other parts until the end of Q4 2021. This damage will impact the Partnership's ability to provide service to shippers until such repairs are completed.
      • Given the timeline for repairs to WD-143, the Partnership expects throughput to resume from the Olympus platform at some point in Q4 2021 and from the Mars and Ursa facilities at some point in Q1 2022.
  • Onshore Assets:
    1. The Zydeco pipeline has been returned to full capability and is operating under normal conditions.

Shell Midstream Partners carries several insurance policies in kinds and amounts customary to the industry, which may offset some costs of any asset damage and business losses. The Partnership's business interruption insurance related to lost revenue is expected to begin after sixty days of downtime. The Partnership intends to file all appropriate claims.

The Partnership will continue to provide updates on the company website,

Shell Midstream Partners' primary focus continues to be the safety of its affiliates' employees and the protection of the environment.
