MONACA, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania company says it
has given Shell Oil Co. six more months to decide whether it wants to
buy land for a proposed petrochemical plant.
Shell said in March
that the site about 35 miles north of Pittsburgh was its first choice to
build a multi-billion dollar plant, but that extensive evaluations had
to be done.
The so-called cracker plant would convert natural gas
liquids from the Marcellus Shale into more profitable chemicals such as
ethylene, which is used to make plastics and other products.
The
purchase option with Horsehead Corp. was set to expire at the end of the
year. Shell always said it was years away from making a final decision.
The site is currently home to a zinc smelter, which Horsehead expects to shut down.
