Vital Buyer-Seller Meet

Into its 3rd year, CMT’s LPGtrade Summit is the PREMIER Middle East gathering for the global LPG industry.  Taking place on 10 – 11 November 2008, this event is expected to draw LPG players from key corners of the globe. Held at one of Dubai’s most prestigious resorts - the InterContinental Dubai Festival City. 

Recent rise of gas production from Qatar, Abu Dhabi and expanded refining capacities in Asia and Middle East have boosted LPG supplies and exports increased multifold.  The expanded supply is cushioned by the moderate demand growth, contributed by Asia’s energy hungry market and petrochemical sector. 

The unpredictable and tight Naphtha market which sends the crack spread value to the negative digits, provides LPG its competitive advantage as the alternative feedstock for petchem producers in Asia, USA and even Europe.  With such volatile market situation, how long will the new export sector sustain its demand for LPG?  Also how will the rise of the MidEast petchem production impact on the export capacity? 

Due to its cheaper price and cleaner exhaust emissions than petrol, LPG has become an attractive alternative energy for transportation.  Growth in the Autogas conversion has created a surge in LPG demand, as evident in Pakistan, Australia and Europe.

CMT’s 3rd LPGtrade Summit offers top industry panel, leading international LPG decision makers and market players unique opportunities with a particular focus on the Middle East where key decisions steering the global LPG pricing, trading, transport and supply are being made.
