Shell has resumed operations at its olefins Norco complex in Louisiana after an unplanned outage last week, market sources said on Wednesday.
Shell has two crackers at the site with a combined 1.42m tonnes/year of ethylene capacity.
Market sources said the company had halted production in Norco because it could not ship ethylene out of the facility as a result of a pipeline leak last week.
Shell confirmed it had shut down a segment of a pipeline in Louisiana, but a spokesperson declined to comment on the company’s operational status in Norco, citing policy.
