Sasol Ethane Cracker Job Starts Despite Gas-to-Liquids Delay

摘要

Construction is underway on an $8.1 -billion ethane cracking plant after its owner, Sasol Ltd., in January delayed a decision to invest in a neighboring project estimated to cost up to $14 billion. Crews for three construction contractors are now performing site preparation, piling and foundation work on the Westlake, La., site while four other contractors have been awarded contracts for later mobilization.
