Overview
of LPG Markets in Atlantic Canada
We provided an analysis of supply/demand trends for propane
and butanes in Atlantic Canada with particular emphasis on marketing
opportunities in Canadian petrochemical feedstock markets.
Long
term Outlook for International Natural Gas Supply and LPG Production
PWI prepared long term price forecasts (2005 2020) for development
of international natural gas resources via LNG production, conventional
natural gas production for domestic pipeline distribution systems
and gas production for long distance international export pipeline
systems. The scope of this study also included the impact of natural
gas production for Gas-to Liquids plants. We prepared forecasts
for natural gas production and consumption on a country by country
basis. Additionally, the study included an evaluation of the quality
of each natural gas supply source to support the development of
long-term LPG supply/demand forecasts. Based on the results of
the natural gas production and quality forecasts, we developed
production and demand forecasts for propane and butane on a country
by country basis.
Ethylene/Polyethylene
Complex in Atlantic Canada
PWI conducted an in depth evaluation of the economic and marketing
feasibility of constructing an ethylene/polyethylene complex in
Nova Scotia. Our assessment included analysis of local feedstock
availability, evaluation of available polyethylene process technologies,
and recommendations for a market entry strategy and market entry
strategy and long-term polyethylene marketing and pricing.
Long
Range Japanese Price Forecasts
PWI developed long term naphtha and propane price forecasts for
markets in Japan. This project supported the client's international
LPG marketing and business development activities for finding
alternative markets for gas plant butane supplies.
LPG
Export Terminal Development
The outlook for natural gas production in the Caspian basin prompted
our client to investigate opportunities to develop a LPG export
terminal in the area. We prepared a feasibility study of the proposed
LPG export terminal. Additionally, PWI accompanied the client's
senior management personnel on a site inspection tour of the proposed
location for the export terminal facilities.
MTBE
Plant in Russia
PWI conducted a screening study and feasibility evaluation for
the development of an MTBE plant to be located within a Russian
refinery. The scope of this study included an evaluation of the
project's economics and analysis of the distribution system for
marketing MTBE into export markets.
