The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

…sulfur was glossed over in those articles. It'll be interesting to see if huge yellow mountains start accumulating in Qatar…

Would anyone be in a position to complain? That’s a serious question.

…how critical sulfate exports are to the profitability of the operation.

To my knowledge, Shell has never mentioned sulphur byproducts such as H2SO4 and gypsum as being material to the economic impetus for the Pearl project.

I think the latter question will only be answered by whether or not the plants are still operating in 10 yrs or so if gas prices stay roughly the same.

If Pearl is not still operating in 10 years, it will probably rank as the biggest blunder of any single project in the history of the hydrocarbon industry.
