Shell could build plant in Ascension: 750 new jobs are projected
BY TED GRIGGS and TIMOTHY BOONE: September 30, 2013
Shell is considering building a $12.5 billion gas-to-liquids facility in Ascension Parish that would create 740 new direct jobs with an expected average salary of $100,000, plus benefits.
Shell is evaluating a site with frontage on La. 70 and La. 44 near Sorrento.
The company said there is no guarantee it will build the facility, and it will be several years before the company makes a final decision.
The project must first go through a multi-tiered, multi-year evaluation process.
Shell’s cautionary statements did little to dampen the enthusiasm of local and state officials.
“It’s just phenomenal that they chose the site. That was the key. We’ve been working on this for about two years now,†Ascension Parish President Tommy Martinez said.
Shell shortlists Louisiana for $12.5b mega-GTL plant
Royal Dutch Shell PLC selected Ascension Parish, Louisiana as a potential location for a $12.5 billion gas-to-liquids (GTL) facility.
If Louisiana is the final pick, the plant will be be located near Sorrento, and would also be one of the first commercial-scale plants of its kind in the U.S.
According to an incentive agreement with the state, the project would create 740 direct jobs.
A decision whether to begin construction of the facility is pending several years of site evaluation and preliminary engineering studies, according to Shell.

Should we move forward with the project, we expect project costs to be well in excess of the minimum spend that was agreed upon with the state of Louisiana, he added.
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
