Sweet Gas Bill Promises Boost for Black Industry
The Texas Panhandle faces major economic shifts if Senate Bill 227 is signed. It would allow sweet or sour gas to be used in carbon black production, with recovery targets and price safeguards set by the Texas Railroad Commission. Supporters argue it could revive about 100 idle sweet gas wells and strengthen regional industry, while a veto could pull carbon black plants from the Panhandle. A delegation from Pampa Amarillo and Borger planned to meet Governor Jester to urge signing.
