Shale Gas News – July 27, 2019
The Shale Gas News, heard every Saturday at 10 AM on 94.3 FM, 1510 AM and Sundays on YesFM, talked about Range Resources, Lack of new NYC gas, West Virginia cracker plant and much more last week.
Every Saturday Rusty Fender and I host a morning radio show to discuss all things natural gas. This week, as a guest, we had Tom Shepstone of Natural Gas NOW.
The Shale Gas News, typically, is broadcast live. On the July 27th show, we covered the following new territory:

- Braskem Gives Up on WV Cracker – Parkersburg Site for Sale. A sad end to the hope that Braskem, the largest petrochemical company in Latin America (headquartered in Brazil), is going to build an ethane cracker in Wood County, WV, near Parkersburg. We hasten to add Braskem leaving doesn’t mean someone else won’t will build a cracker plant there–it just won’t be Braskem. News is leaking that Braskem has put the land they had purchased for a possible cracker up for sale.
