International and domestic business development, global market studies, strategic planning, merger and acquisition support and educational seminars

Dan Lippe and Jim Cutler founded Petral Worldwide, Inc. (PWI) in 1993. PWI provides clients in the hydrocarbon processing industries with a broad array of consulting services.

Retainer Services
Retainer services, tailored to meet the specific needs of each client, include monitoring supply/demand trends in regional markets for petroleum products and primary petrochemicals, providing market intelligence on developments in strategic petrochemical products markets, and routinely developing customized price forecasts & economic analyses for olefins industry feedstocks. PWI's retainer services are fully integrated and consistent with the fundamental market and economic forecasts developed by PCC for NGL Markets in North America.

Multiclient Studies
PWI prepares special multiclient studies that focus on specific issues of current importance to its clients. One example, NGL Markets in Louisiana, focused on the substantial impact of the emerging production of NGL-rich natural gas from the deepwater fields of the Gulf of Mexico. Another example, Business Development Opportunities in the Midstream Industry, focused on the gas processing industry's cost effective opportunities to increase NGL recovery.

International Projects
In the international arena, PWI provides insight into long term LNG market developments and their impact on global LPG markets via Global Perspectives for LNG and LPG Markets. In this multiclient study, PWI provides a comprehensive view of LNG market growth and focuses on how variations in natural gas quality will impact growth in LPG production on a worldwide basis.

Seminars
PWI also routinely conducts educational seminars and conferences. PWI's educational seminars are intended to assist clients in bringing staff members who are new to the midstream and olefins industries up to speed quickly. (See Seminars for more information.)
