The Evangeline Pipeline, which moves ethylene from Texas into Louisiana, was again operational on Friday. However, it was unclear if the line had returned to full rates, as per sources in Platts. Chevron Pipe Line, the line's owner, could not be reached immediately for confirmation. The line has been down since late August 2013 and has been cited as the main reason for a record buildup of ethylene stocks in Texas, and higher prices and supply constraints in Louisiana. In late March and early April, sources said the startup was expected in early May, which was a four-month delay from prior estimates of late December and mid-January.
