How will the Gulf tip the balance in the world’s olefins & polyolefins markets?|
Soaring crude prices…slowing global economy ... Challenges ahead
As crude continues to new highs sparking inflation woes and protests, global markets stay volatile as the world economy slows. How will the economic dynamics of the Middle East interplay with global markets? Against this backdrop of weak sentiment, the Middle East continues its petrochemical ambitions.
The announcement by Saudi Aramco and Total to create the Jubail Refining and Petrochemical company is the latest project announced. (Source: Reuters, June 22) Last year in North Africa, Egypt unveiled aggressive plans for its petrochemical industry. The entire region’s increasingly pivotal role in the olefins and polyolefins markets makes it crucial to monitor the progress of these projects. Hear from major stakeholders on their perspectives of capacity additions in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Egypt & Iran.
Maximising yield and looking at alternative feedstock is becoming more important especially in today’s volatile energy markets. How can the latest MTO advances help improve margins for producers in the industry ?
China and India, some of the main markets for the Middle East, have also been relentless in their own capacity expansions to feed demand. Are they on the road to self-sufficiency or will they continue to drive consumption?
Polymer parks and industrial clusters have sprung up in the Gulf as part of efforts to develop its downstream industries. As investments in sectors from BOPP, etc in these parks pour in, how will this impact the olefins and polyolefins industry?
