Argus DeWitt Olefins Conference 2016
About This Event
The event will give the latest insights into the market as experts give updates on ethylene, propylene and related polymers, CTO/MTO, PDH atmosphere, LPG influence and detailed Asian market outlooks.
Crackers across the globe have had a bumper 2015, supported by limited new capacity additions that have kept ethylene prices high. But margins have already come off the highs for this year, while a glut of propylene and weak butadiene values continue to put pressure on crackers. Meanwhile the global feedstock slate continues to evolve, affecting production. What are the expectations for 2016? The Argus DeWitt Olefins Conference 2016 will discuss these issues, together with the strength of ethylene prices in Asia, new PDH projects that are weighing on Asia’s propylene outlook, and take a closer look at the butadiene market, which faces volatile pricing and overcapacity in downstream markets.
Conference Highlights:
- High ethylene margins - how long will they last?
- Increasing propylene supplies - the fate of propylene and its derivatives
- A slowdown in China and its impact on polymers
- How the different feedstocks stack up in the $50/bl oil environment
- Impact of Iran on the olefins trade
- Volatile butadiene - can derivatives bear the costs?
