It remains to be seen if Belmont County will ultimately land the $5.7 billion PPT Global Chemical ethane cracker, but six similar projects already are under construction along the nation's Gulf Coast, with Marcellus and Utica shale gas scheduled to provide at least a portion of their feedstock. Industry leaders believe ethane yields from just the Marcellus and Utica fields could reach 590,000 barrels daily by 2020, which is up from none at all in 2012.
