Court records suggest that Shell’s latest pipeline easement agreements in Pennsylvania will cost $75 a foot to carry ethane to its new ethane cracker facility.
Foot by foot, Shell Pipeline Co. is getting landowners in Beaver County, Pa., to sign easements for its 94-mile Falcon Ethane Pipeline. It’s a pipeline with two “legs” that will feed Shell’s ethane cracker plant now under construction at Monaca, Pa., northwest of Pittsburgh.
In early 2016, the Royal Dutch Shell affiliate began signing leases with landowners for the pipeline branches stretching into Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. See map. More easements were signed in January and May.
