HOUSTON, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc
began shutting its 230,611 barrel-per-day Norco, Louisiana
refinery and adjoining chemical plant on Saturday morning,
according to a community alert sent to residents living near the
plant.
The message said the shutdown is because of the threat from
Hurricane Ida and the Norco complex's safety flare system would
be used throughout the storm's passage. The company said on
Friday it would shut the Norco refinery and chemical plant in
Geismar, Louisiana because of the hurricane.
