According to sources familiar with plant operations, the restart of Royal Dutch Shell's Norco, Louisiana, refinery and chemical plant complex will begin with a chemical plant unit in mid-October.
One of the two of these units, the Gas Olefins unit-1 (GO-1) or the Olefins-5 unit (OL-5), will open the restarting efforts.
The adjoining 230,611 bpd Norco refinery will restart between mid-October and mid-November.
