US oil and gas giant Exxon Mobil Corporation has scrapped its 330-billion-baht ethylene cracker and refinery expansion project in Chon Buri, but the decision will not affect the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) scheme, says a source at the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) who requested anonymity.
Chon Buri, Rayong and Chachoengsao provinces form the EEC zone, the government's flagship high-tech industrial hub.
