Sasol’s US Mega Project (December 2016) | Latest aerial view of construction

Our ethane cracker and derivatives project in Southwest Louisiana has reached 55 percent completion in more than 14 million man hours without a lost time incident.

The project will roughly triple the company's chemical production capacity in the U.S. and enable it to build on its strong positions in robust and growing global chemicals markets.

At the heart of the project is an ethane cracker that will produce 1.5 million tons of ethylene annually, benefiting from significant economies of scale. The complex also includes six chemical manufacturing plants. Approximately 90 percent of the cracker's ethylene output will be converted into a diverse slate of commodity and high-margin specialty chemicals for markets in which Sasol has a strong position, underpinned by collaborative customer relationships.

Noteworthy updates:
Procurement of equipment almost 100% committed
Bulk materials procurement around two-thirds committed
Fabrication of the modules and piping spool pieces is well advanced
Site, civil and concrete work nearing completion
Heavy haul road improvement 100% completed
