The world's leading oil companies will also be discussing their outlook for the LPG business as it relates to the other major energy uses such as LNG and petrochemicals.

According to Poten & Partners, Seaborne LPG markets are approaching a period of unprecedented change. Crude, gas and LNG projects, currently on the brink of completion, will contribute the largest step-up in field grade LPG supply seen in several decades. And while new gas and crude flows are designed to meet the rising energy demands of a growing global economy, future incremental LPG volumes are projected to be in surplus of current demand.
The effect is projected to be structural change in seaborne LPG trading markets. Long anticipated, but delayed, the changes are now just beginning to be seen.
Such a quantum change was seen in the 1970s, when a surge in supplies globalized the regional LPG market of the day. What will a quantum change of similar magnitude bring this time? The outcome is as yet undecided; the game is still in play. In any event, we are likely to see a major alteration of trading patterns, bringing new buyers and creating opportunities for those who move now to benefit.
CMT's 4th LPGtrade Summit offers you insights and answers to these changing dynamics, directly from the producers, energy majors and importers of the LPG marketplace. The conference zooms in with a series of senior executives' keynote presentations, setting the scene on global energy demand and projections of the future.
