LONDON (Alliance News) - Royal Dutch Shell PLC has shelved its Louisiana-to-Texas Westward Ho pipeline project following years of delays, a spokeswoman has confirmed to Reuters.
Kimberly Windon, a spokeswoman for the oil major, said that following a "thorough review and as a result of changing market conditions" the company has decided not to proceed with the project.
Westward Ho was first proposed in 2011 with a top capacity of 900,000 barrels per day and had been due to start in late 2015, but in the interim Shell cut the initial capacity and saw a number of other pipeline projects launched in the same area of the US.
