US ExxonMobil may build cracker, PE plant in Texas

HOUSTON (ICIS)–ExxonMobil may build an ethane cracker and polyethylene (PE) plant near Corpus Christi, Texas, the company said in an application for a tax break.

If ExxonMobil proceeds with the project, it would be built in Calhoun county, which is north of Corpus Christi, the application said.

Construction could start in 2025 and finish at the end of 2030. Production could start in 2031, the application said.

ExxonMobil is considering other locations for the possible project, including the Middle East, Asia and other sites in North America.
