S&P lowers Deer Park

Standard & Poor's said it lowered the corporate credit rating on Deer Park Refining LP to BBB from A.

The agency also said it removed the rating from CreditWatch, where it was placed with negative implications in November.

The agency also said it lowered Deer Park's short-term rating to A-2 from A-1.

The outlook is stable.

The downgrade was based on Deer Park as strategically important to one of its parents, Royal Dutch Shell, S&P said.

Deer Park is a joint venture with Royal Dutch Shell's subsidiary, Shell Oil Co. and PMI Norteamerica SA de CV, the agency said.

S&P said it continues to view Deer Park's stand-alone credit profile at BB, primarily reflecting its fair business risk profile related to exposure to volatile refining markets and significant financial risk profile.
