The Houston Chronicle is reporting that Shell Oil Co. is still exploring the possibility of building a natural gas processing plant in Pennsylvania: "In March 2012, Shell chose a possible site about 35 miles north of Pittsburgh for the so-called ethane cracking, or cracker, plant. It would convert ethane from bountiful Marcellus and Utica Shale natural gas into more profitable chemicals such as ethylene, which are then used to produce everything from plastics to tires to antifreeze. *** While some recent media reports suggested that the project might be canceled, The Associated Press found that Shell still has scores of people working on the assessment."
We'll see.
