Conference Theme: "When the Dust Settles: Condensate & Naphtha in a Post COVID World"
The impacts of Covid-19 and low oil prices will have ramifications on condensate, naphtha and petrochemical feedstock balances for years to come, with delayed FIDs, shelved projects, massive cuts to upstream, midstream and downstream capital expenditures. What will this mean for the industry?
- Has the Energy Transition been put on hold with all the associated condensate supply that it was expected to bring?
- How will this impact condensate and naphtha balances looking forward?
- What will this mean for the future landscape of petrochemical feedstocks?
Join us for frank discussions on the opportunities and challenges of the industry, as the world recovers slowly from the dual shocks of the OPEC+ price war and the Covid-19 pandemic.
