Creating petrochemical opportunities through bottom of the barrel conversion (Middle East)
Globally, the demand for transportation fuels could reach its peak in the coming decade. Middle Eastern refiners are seeing demand growth for fuels soften, particularly for the export market, and demand growth for petrochemicals is increasing. Forward-looking refiners are branching out into petrochemicals to unlock new value and ensure continued profitable growth. The key to unlocking these opportunities in petrochemicals lies in stepwise investments in new process technology with advanced molecular management.
