* SHELL:Shell SHEL.L said on Thursday that there did not appear to be serious damage at the Louisiana, Geismar and Norco manufacturing facilities from wind, rain or storm surge due to Tropical Depression Francine.
* FRANCINE: Shell said on Thursday that downstream issues stemming from hurricane Francine led to curtailed production at Appomattox, Mars, Vito, Ursa, and Olympus in the Gulf of Mexico.
* OIL:Oil prices rose on Friday, extending a rally sparked by output disruptions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, where Hurricane Francine forced producers to evacuate platforms before it hit the coast of Louisiana.
