The ongoing American shale gas revolution has sparked a const ruction boom as the petrochemical industry looks to takes advantage of the inexpensive feed stock. Chemical companies have committed billions to pro ject in the Gulf Coast and the Marcellus Shale regions.
 \;
For Barbara Shook, these industry developments are reminiscent of another U.S. petrochemicals boom. She recalls the furious construction of the early 1950&rsquo\;s, when bou ntiful NGL from the East Texas Oil Field and rulings made by the Texas Rai lroad Commission to limit the flaring of casinghead gas, spurred the growt h of new petrochemicals plants in Texas.
At this International Study Group Luncheon, Barba ra will share her memories from the nascency of Texas&rsquo\;s petrochemic al industry, compare those early days to the recent developments, and disc uss the impact the U.S. petrochemical boom will have on the global industr y.
