HOUSTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc
plans to restart the second stage of the hydrocracker at its
227,400 barrel-per-day (bpd) Norco, Louisiana, refinery this
week, said sources familiar with plant operations.
Shell spokesman Curtis Smith declined to comment.
The second stage of the 40,000-bpd hydrocracker was shut on
April 25 to repair a leak, the sources said.
The adjoining Shell chemical plant plans to restart the
Olefins-5 cracker this week as well, the sources said.
