The company said all its staff were accounted for and non essential staff had been evacuated to safety.
"We believe it was an accident. A full investigation will be conducted once the fire is put out," Shell said.
Neighbouring units were shut down as a precaution. In the process of a shutdown, Shell advised that a larger flare would be visible and that the flare was no cause for alarm, as no toxic vapours were being released.
One Shell firefighter sustained a superficial injury, and five other firefighters had heat exhaustion and pulled muscle, the company added.
Shell had earlier said it shut some units at its refinery after the fire.
