US shale gas arrives in Europe for the first time on board the INEOS Intrepid
The INEOS INTREPID, the world’s largest multi gas carrier, arrived on Wednesday (Mar 23) at Rafnes in Norway carrying 27,500m3 of ethane from US shale gas. This is the first time that ethane from US shale gas has ever been shipped to Europe and represents the culmination of a $2 billion investment by INEOS. INEOS intends to eventually use eight of these huge ships to provide a virtual pipeline shipping US shale gas to its two petrochemical sites in Norway and Scotland, as US shale gas replaces the reducing gas feed from the North Sea.
First Ineos shale ship is underway
Petrochemical giant Ineos has confirmed its first shipment of shale gas has left the USA bound for Europe. The Ineos Intrepid left east coast port Philadelphia last week carrying 27,500m3 of US ethane and is now on its way to Rafnes in Norway. This is the first time that US shale gas has ever been imported into Europe and Ineos plans to start shipments of the gas to its base in Grangemouth later this year. Over the last couple of years work has been taking place to build ethane storage tanks at Rafnes and Grangemouth.
