HOUSTON, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc
began starting up the crude distillation unit (CDU) at its
225,300-barrel-per-day (bpd) Norco, Louisiana, refinery on
Friday, said sources familiar with plant operations.
Once the 240,000-bpd CDU is back in production, the refinery
plans to raise the production level on the 112,000-bpd
gasoline-producing residual catalytic cracking unit (RCCU), the
sources said.
