When the Dust Settles: Condensate & Naphtha in a Post COVID World
A Novel Hybrid Platform
Under conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic, Conference Connection is pleased to offer this year’s Forum in a novel hybrid format, covering both physical and virtual options. In so doing, we aim to deliver an event experience that combines the value of face-to-face connections, with the flexibility of a virtual platform.

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.
