#Shell proposing a #petrochemical #refinery to make plastics, tires and antifreeze from natural #gas liquids

Officials are hoping Shell Oil’s proposed petrochemical refinery near Beaver, Pa., will pay big dividends for the Columbiana County Port Authority’s riverfront industrial park located downstream in Wellsville. Port Authority CEO Tracy Drake said at this week’s board meeting any new businesses that could result might be interested in their 50-acre industrial park and its riverfront terminal.

The proposed refinery will be used to convert natural gas liquids into chemicals which can then be used to make plastics, tires and antifreeze.
