Supplement III 2012 - Meeting Global Polypropylene Demand on the Face of More Light Feed Crackers

Development of gas crackers in the Middle East and switching to shale gas ethane in the U.S. have shorted the market of propylene and other heavier streams normally in abundance from naphtha-fed crackers. Consequently, more on-purpose propylene is required to bridge the shortfalls. This report evaluates the options for meeting future demand growth.

International Shale Gas: Assessing the Industry's Future (2013 Program)

This PERP provides an overview of shale gas resources outside the United States and their potential impact on the petrochemical industry. It highlights worldwide occurrence, reservoir characteristics, along with environmental and downstream-related concerns. The report also examines the prospective impact of shale gas on ethylene and HDPE production economics for selected countries and a gas market assessment, including Nexant's shale gas production forecast.
