HOUSTON, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Chevron Corp (CVX.N) said a 59,500 barrel per day (bpd) hydrocracking complex was restarting on Monday at its 279,000 bpd Los Angeles-area refinery in El Segundo, California, after completing a planned overhaul.

Chevron began the hydrocracking complex overhaul on Oct 14 following a power outage on the unit. The overhaul was scheduled to begin within hours of the outage.

The restart of the hydrocracker could last through Dec 8, according to notices filed California pollution regulators.
