in strong demand growth.

• Russia & Brazil have not

Global Energy & Economic Fundamentals Have

Changed…Impacting Chemical Investment Decisions

• Crude oil price trends impact regional

competitiveness, cash margins,

investment decisions.

• Ethane/gas based investments in

North America see lower margins in

low crude oil market.

• Key decisions of location, feedstock,

technology, scale, growth, cost

position: are much less “obvious”

• Result is a slowdown in approving

new investments for 2020+

Significant Demand Growth Could Challenge Supply 130+ MM Metric Tons from 2014 to 2020

• Ethylene, Methanol show

strength, with 36+ MM metric

tons each; Propylene growth

at 32+ MM; stronger than

GDP growth.

• Benzene, Chlorine and

Paraxylene growth is modest,

near 1xGDP or below.

• Total demand for basic

chemicals by 2020 forecast

over 560 MM metric tons

(approx. 4% per year).

• Rapid decline in crude oil pricing

causes supply-chains to “pause”.

• Lower costs combined with a pause

in demand, result in price

declines….….lower prices can

stimulate chemical demand in some

markets.

• Falling prices / lower margins force

re-assessment of capital spending.

• Combination can create tight

markets near term and will influence

future investment decisions .

Low Crude Oil Drives Chemical Market Price Declines

• Basic chemical regional spot

prices respond to lower crude

oil pricing.

• Crude oil feedstock based

products declined between

$500 - $700/MT.

• Methanol prices, driven by gas

and coal economics, show

less of a response.

• Price response in derivative

markets show varied impact on

cash margins. Demand

stimulus in plastics markets.

provide sustainable advantage for new

investment wave.

• Advantaged feedstock will enable an

additional wave beyond 2020, assuming

crude oil price recovery (near $80/bbl) and

low natural gas pricing (near $3/MM BTU).

• Domestic and International companies are

seeking to invest to leverage the low-cost

opportunities. New entrants to create

increased competition in domestic markets

• Logistics & port infrastructure investment

needed to support higher level of exports

• 2014: Peak of earnings driven by regions

with high proportion of gas-based production

• 2015: Earnings down 15% due to M. East

and Americas; APAC/Europe stronger on

outages

• 2016: Earnings decline 10% further with

energy and capacity add; equal drop across

all regions

• 2017-2018: earnings improve as demand

grows into supply base

• 2019-2020: Earnings peak as oil recovers

and demand grows into installed capacity

base

Planning For An Uncertain

Future…

Strategic Implications

• The investment landscape is changing

with shifting demand growth and non-

conventional options on technology and

feedstock selection.

• High level of uncertainty in energy and

economic fundamentals present

planners with difficult scenarios for

identifying the best path forward.

• Board level decisions require higher

returns for approval; risk premiums

escalate; defer approvals until conditions

signal more predicable outcome.

• Where investment decisions in 2016 are

“on hold”, could lead to supply limitations

in the 2020+ time-period, as demand

growth accelerates.
