Chevron Phillips Chemical (Chevron Phillips Chemical) two sets of the new PE in Texas Sweeny is commissioning phase, and 90 miles of Texas Baytown newly built 1.5 million tons/year of ethane cracking device has been completed in the fourth quarter of last year, Tim Phillips 66 company President Taylor told analysts this month.
