据ICIS-MRC网站7月6日莫斯科报道，根据路透社报道称，熟悉工厂运营的消息人士称，荷兰皇家壳牌公司在路易斯安那州的日产230611桶的Norco开始重启氢裂解装置的第二阶段。
壳牌发言人没有回复置评请求。此日产4万桶的氢裂解装置第二段于6月18日关闭。据消息人士称，氢裂解装置第一阶段继续运行。
据MRC称，到2021年底，荷兰皇家壳牌在美国将只有一家炼油厂，即位于路易斯安那州Norco的日产227400桶的炼油厂。熟悉壳牌计划的消息人士表示，该公司可能会继续持有Norco炼油厂，因为该炼油厂为壳牌的化工厂提供供应。其中一名消息人士称，该位于新奥尔良以西25英里（40公里）的炼油厂与Norco是一体的。
