Sept 13 (Reuters) - Shell on Friday said its

Norco and Geismar facilities were in the process of returning to

normal operations after Hurricane Francine moved across

Louisiana.

"During the storm, our Norco hydrocracker shut down due to a

brief power outage but did not sustain any damage. We are

keeping it shut-in ahead of a routine, planned turnaround, which

has now been moved up," the company said.
