Shale energy resources driving resurgence for ethylene industry

摘要

The abundant supply of North American shale energy resources is proving to be not only a boon for exploration and production (E&P) companies and energy consumers, but it is also changing the profitability landscape for the continent's ethylene producers. According to a recently published report, these shale energy resources are driving chemical industry job growth, low-cost ethylene production, significant profitability, and a competitive resurgence for the continent's producers of ethylene, one of the most essential building-block chemicals in the petrochemical industry.
