Ethane To Ethylene & Derivatives 2013 Heads To Houston

With ethylene production capacity set to increase by an enormous 37% over the next 5-10 years, North America is fast becoming the new global leader in olefins.

However, with the feasibility of ethane and ethylene exports still being evaluated, and with the North American market unable to absorb such vast volumes, clearly the major market opportunities for the booming ethylene value chain lies in derivative exports. For adequate project risk evaluation and to fully take advantage of these opportunities it is critical to decipher which derivatives are likely to provide the greatest uplift, and where exactly are the markets for them?

Supporting the Petrochemical Industry in capitalizing on these opportunities, the Ethane To Ethylene & Derivatives Global Petrochemicals Markets Summit 2013 (Houston, October 29-30) is the only forum where you can access specific analysis on the ethane to ethylene and derivative value chain.

Benefit from briefings breaking down global derivative-by-derivative market opportunities and evaluation of project execution risks through the perspective of the petrochemicals industry itself.
