Shell does have refineries in the US. But no refinery trucks their fuel more than 350 miles from the facility. Is there a Shell refinery in Florida ? When not with in the distance, they use the Spot Market facilities to distribute their fuel for contracts. They all live by this.

I retired from ARCO in California. Shell sold their refinery in the LA area, and we made their fuel for them. In the Bay area, we had no refinery there and they made it for us and our contracts.

Refineries washed each other hands when it comes to business ... and profit.
