Thread regarding Shell Oil layoffs

Chemicals next???

PAO getting the axe and rumors floating that Exxon is/has placed multiple offers for either Chemicals as a whole or just Geismar. They haven’t started bringing out the paint buckets at this time, but $100 mil on new buildings during a budget crunch sure looks like lipstick on a pig!!

As chemicals gets whittled down, may make more sense for what’s left to get picked up by someone with a bit of loose change rattling around in their pockets. I could see North America getting picked up. Maybe Pernis. The rest, not a chance.

the Chemicals side has always been "for sale" and it always goes no where. The chemicals side of Scotford has been rumored to be sold for the past 5 years, because "it doesn't make money".
