Refining & Petrochemical Industry CHALLENGES Availability, price and declining quality of crude Other feedstock availability Changing product slates and quality specifications Government mandates to meet CO2 challenge New capacity needed to meet forecast demand growth Increasing costs of capital projects UOP
Price of Oil Oil Price Forecast Each year for past 5 years – no one has predicted oil price accurately Low oil price and low demand will challenge/postpone some projects Spot price st quarter price 2004 projection 2005 projection 2007 projection 2006 projection 2008 Dollars per Barrel ‘70 ‘73‘76‘79 ‘82 ‘85‘88‘91‘94‘97‘00‘03 ‘06‘09‘12‘15 ‘18‘21 ‘24 ‘27 ‘30 Source: Energy Information Administration July 3 - $145 Oct 17 - $70 UOP 5019A-02 Sept 26 - $99 Nov 14 - $52 Dec 19 - $41

Implications for Refiners Globally, product balance shifts strongly towards diesel –Slowing global gasoline demand due to high prices and new fuel efficiency standards in the US and Europe –Ethanol replaces some gasoline Configuration changes will be required to meet demand & handle wider supply of crudes –More heavy and sour crudes –More resid conversion & hydrocracking New processing to upgrade fuel quality –Lower sulfur fuels –Higher octane gasoline Refining changes required Lower demand, how long?

Basic Chemicals & Plastics Two-Year Rolling Average Demand Growth CurrentLog. Trend (Current) Million Metric Tons Two-Years Ending in… Petrochemicals is a Cyclic Market UOP 5033A_China-14
Propylene Supply & Demand Gap Gap is growing and needs to be filled by; refinery-produced propylene and on-purpose propylene Data Source CMAI 2008 UOP 5033A_China-17
Implication for Petrochemical Producers Up cycle turning, lower demand accelerating Propylene supply/demand gap increasing Look for opportunistic feedstocks through refining integration Energy and feedstock efficiency are key to long term profitability UOP 5033A_China-18
