Royal Dutch Shell plant....any word on how its coming along?

Just curious if anybody has seen continued work by Shell at the old Horsehead plant.  By the same token, has anybody heard any rumblings as to how things are coming along?

Demolition on going. I hear noise almost every day, 5-6 days a week. When you drive on Rt.68  some thing is missing {building gone} but you don't  what is missing. Like watching an elephant being eaten by ants. One day all gone!

With Shell selling leases, swapping leases. The amount in Shell bankbook came out to

3 BILLION AHEAD.

 Number sound familiar ?

I particularly like the paragraph mentioning Markwest. They are tight with Rex who just bought Shell's leases.
The dots are gradually connecting to form a real nice picture!!!! :-)

Agreed Trapper!  Also the dots are connecting for the question of why is CHK drilling the Utica for dry gas here.... The shell plant would use tremendous amounts of natural gas for the facility as noted in the article.

Happy days are otw!

Shell Chemicals is holding two public meetings on Nov. 13 on the proposed cracker plant in Pennsylvania's Beaver County.

The meetings will be at at 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Both will be held at the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center in Midland, Pa.

I suppose they will be similar in nature to the previous ones.

I also heard from a reliable source that contracts have been awarded for the removal of the large amount of concrete on-site at Horsehead, as well as the demolition of the Midway Bar area.  Timing, I don't know.

Most/if not all buildings are down or being removed as we speak. I understand there is piping that needs dug up before they can take down the towers.
