Wednesday, August 14, 2019
President Donald Trump visited the soon-to-be-completed Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex in Monaca Tuesday, hailing the plant as an example of US energy dominance, according to FOX 40.
The petrochemicals plant is located in Monaca, just outside of Pittsburgh. It is scheduled to be finished early next year, and will focus on producing plastic made from byproducts of fracking for natural gas.
The construction of the plant created 5,000 jobs, with 600 of them expected to be permanent.

Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
