Shell finds building damage at Norco, Louisiana refinery

Shell found evidence of building damage at its 230,611-bpd Norco, Louisiana refinery, a company spokesman said.

"The site did lose power and there is evidence of some building damage," Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said. "We will commence a site start-up when safe to do so."

Sources familiar with plant operations said damage had been found at the Norco refinery but did not know the extent of the damage or time needed to make the repairs.

Shell is awaiting the restoration of external electrical power to the Norco refining and chemical plant complex.
