The Chemical Industry Enables Modern Living
…Connecting Energy Products With Consumer Markets
Energy markets provide essential BTU’s to power operations and
feedstock sources including natural gas liquids, naphtha and
coal that are consumed in the
production of basic chemicals
Chemical industry converts energy and feedstock's into basic
chemicals, intermediates, plastics
and fibers that are used to produce durable and non-durable consumer
goods
Economic growth in developed and
developing economies around the world
drive consumer buying trends for durable and
non-durable goods; hence creating demand for the
chemical industry

Leverage low cost natural gas based chemicals
into investments in ethylene, propylene and
methanol based derivatives.
Invest to establish export channels to market that
exceed historical norms
• Middle East (Saudi Arabia)
Moderated investment pace, diversified feedslate
to support downstream market development and
continued industrial expansion well beyond
ethylene chemistry
• North East Asia (China)
Strong domestic investment focused on reducing
import dependencies.
Leverage coal to chemicals technology near term

Regional Trade Is Critical To Success
• Trade is an essential element
of basic chemical supply
chains
• Low cost regions such as
North America and the Middle
East will export increasing
volumes
• On-purpose technology will
change trade patterns
• Significant investment in ships,
ports, and infrastructure is
needed to support increasing
trade volumes

When Energy Markets Move
Chemical Will Markets Respond
• The rapid decline in crude oil
pricing causes supply-chains
to “pause” as buyers anticipate
lower prices “tomorrow”.
• Combination of a pause in
demand and the decline in
costs for high-cost producers
results in price decreases.
• As market prices “chase”
falling costs, cash margins for
high-cost producers can
expand while cash margins for
low cost producers will decline.

Ethane-based margins decline; maintain advantage near term
• Basic chemicals and derivatives
markets adjust to “new energy”
• Price setters have lower
cost…prices decline seeking new
steady state; impact on trade
• Integrated margins for low-cost
producers decline, some high-cost
producer margins improve
• Approved “advantaged” projects
advance; new projects may pause
• Demand declines followed by
demand surge; trade patterns
shift; potential upcycle in
ethylene; propylene oversupply
The Impact of Energy At The Extremes… Conclusions
© 2015 IHS, Inc. No portion of this presentation may be reproduced, reused, or otherwise distributed in any form without prior written consent.
• Availability of low-cost ethane and
propane in North America to support
continued investments; both domestic
and international
• Developments in on-purpose
technology for olefins versus
traditional routes, including the use of
methanol as a route to olefins.
• Impact of coal-to-chemicals and on-
purpose propylene in China:
private/provincial investment versus
state-owned; self-sufficiency and
surplus capacity impacting trade;
economic slowdown and impact on
need for imports for China.
• Need for ethylene supplied from
naphtha cracking: both higher
operating rates for existing assets and
investments in new naphtha cracking
