Welcome message to guests of LPG Trade Summit

 

Fellow Participants:

 

On behalf of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), I would like to take the opportunity to welcome all the distinguished attendees who will join us in the 5th LPG Trade Summit in Abu Dhabi on October 25th-26th 2010.

 

The 5th LPG Trade Summit is a unique occasion to address the current ever changing dynamics of the global LPG business as it is becoming one of the most prestigious events in the region over the past few years. Furthermore, its location, Abu Dhabi with the support from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), give the summit the perfect platform to present, discuss and network; as the rising global LPG demand growth, will be mostly met by the additional supplies coming from several new gas projects within the Middle East.

 

Over the past two years, speculation over the incremental supply availabilities has been a major subject of discussion. Today, speakers and participants will have the opportunity to be updated with the latest data on production growth from Abu Dhabi as well as other AG producers. In addition, the summit will highlight the impact of rising availabilities of LPG at a time when feedstock competiveness in the petrochemical sector is intensifying. Moreover, focus on key market players, such as China and India, and emerging markets such as Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam; would be crucial in order to have a comprehensive and complete overview of the LPG market fundamentals.

 

I would like to reiterate our warmest hospitality by cordially inviting all the attendees to our exclusive Gala Dinner reception during the event; and wishing all fellow participants a pleasant and productive stay in Abu Dhabi.

 

Mr. Sultan A. Al-Mehairi
Marketing & Refining Director, ADNOC

 

Gala Dinner by ADNOC - 5th LPG Trade Summit 2010

 

 

5th LPG Trade Summit -the most important and biggest meeting venue for all stakeholders involved in production, imports, marketing, shipping and logistics of LPG across Middle East and the world!

 

"The long-awaited upsurge in LPG exports has finally begun. Increased supplies from the Middle East (especially Qatar and Abu Dhabi) are starting to reach the market. More production is also emerging from West Africa.

 

As of now, these new volumes have not yet triggered a rush to locate new buyers. So far, the expectation that petrochemical-feedstock's LPG demand would have to rise to accommodate the increased supplies has not been realized. On the contrary, there has been less LPG imported by petrochemical companies this year than last.

 

So what are the factors that are at play in today's market and how will things change in the next 12 months and beyond?"
