The Condensate & Naphtha Forum 2023 | Conference Connection | 30 October 2023 | TBA, Bali, Indonesia

This forum, held annually since 1996 in Asia, the Middle East & Australia, has evolved into an annual “must attend” event for serious producers, buyers & sellers of the company. With business interactions at the highest levels, underscored by the presence of market leaders in the condensate, naphtha and petrochemical industries, the Forum provides an annual platform for the exchange of industry dialogue and networking opportunities.
These past few years have been extraordinarily volatile, navigating black swan events and geopolitical uncertainties. Given the current state of the oil, gas and petrochemical markets, in the face of both energy security and energy transition, we need to continuously adapt and formulate our strategies accordingly. The challenges put forth in recent years certainly remain with new ones streaming in:

• The current lull in olefins margins and the next wave of steam crackers post-2025 – does the suffering continue?
• The gasoline and aromatics love story – after years of heavy capacity additions on the paraxylene markets, will we see more opportunities?
• The trajectory of oil demand in a post-COVID world – when and how will the peak of oil demand materialise?
• Long run petrochemical growth meets peak oil – a natural transition to come? How will the refining complex adapt to a greater yield shift to naphtha and petrochemicals?
• The NGLs supply story – the slowdown of US growth is bolstered by increasing Middle East supplies alongside gas/LNG projects. Is this the final wave?
• Petrochemical and the energy transition – how will shifting market and policy dynamics, if any, impact feedstocks?
