1 Presented to: Asia Petrochemical Industry Conference Raw Materials Committee Meeting May 2, 24 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Mark Eramo Vice President Olefins & Elastomers

2 Agenda! Ethylene comments "Capacity additions "Regional cost positions "Derivative trade "Demand growth "Recovery scenario! Propylene comments "Strategic issues "Demand growth "Regional trade

3 From Wellhead to Consumer Supply-Chain Is Changing Ethylene Base Energy Ethylene Unit PE Pellets Consumers Non- Durables

4 Strategic Issues Facing the Global Ethylene Industry! Economic recovery key to renewed demand growth! Emerging energy market trends re-defining cost positions! Regional incentives for investments are changing the global supply-chain! Trade patterns for finished goods and intermediates! Environmental regulations present new challenges

5 World Regional Ethylene Capacity Additions Million Tons Billion Pounds North America Middle East Total Asia West Europe Others Annual Demand Increase

6 Regional Million Tons 6 Ethylene Capacity Growth Continues in Asia and Middle East World Million Tons World NAM MDE WEP Asia

7 Incentives to Build Capacity in North America Have Changed # New Focus in Middle East Million Tons NAM NEA WEP MDE SEA SAM ISC ROW

8 Incentives to Build Capacity in North America Have Changed # New Focus in Middle East Million Tons NAM NEA WEP MDE SEA SAM ISC ROW Incentives to build ethylene capacity in Asia will continue.

9 Regional Ethylene Investment Strategies Will Vary in the Current Decade Middle East remains focused on majority of new construction Asia grows and seeks balance between upstream & downstream investment North America and Europe focus on domestic markets; and seek to improve cost position

10 A Third Wave of Middle East Ethylene Capacity Will Impact Market Starting in 26/7 (Million Metric Tons) Middle East ethylene capacity is hitting the global market in waves. By the end of the 3 rd wave, MDE region capacity will likely rank among the top four regions globally. 1 st Wave; Mid-to-late 9 s 2 nd Wave; rd Wave; 26+ $ Therefore, timing may not impact the forecast for the next peak in global plastics and base chemicals Saudi Arabia Iran Qatar Kuwait UAE Turkey Israel Iraq

12 Ethylene Cash Cost Competitiveness! Higher energy prices create large advantage and increasing incentive for Middle East investments! Natural gas to crude oil ratio will define regional competitive positions in the future! Advantaged feed capacity is increasing on a global basis.

13 Higher Energy Prices Increase Middle East Advantage Dollars Per Ton MDE SEA WEP NEA NAM

14 $ / MM Btu North America Energy Price Trends As the cost of natural gas approaches that of crude oil on a heating value basis, gas based olefins production becomes less competitive relative to naphtha based olefins production. Crude/Gas Ratio Natural Gas Crude (WTI) Crude / Gas Ratio.

15 Global Ethylene & Derivative Trade! Middle East will dominate ethylene derivative trade (mainly PE and MEG)! Asia import requirements continue to outpace capacity additions! North America role in trade declines more focus on domestic markets! West Europe (and others) become larger importers! Shipping infrastructure could be challenged

16 World North America a Major Supplier to Other Regions During 199 s Million Tons 8 Net Exports Net Imports Ethylene Net Equivalent Trade North America South America West Europe Middle East Indian Sub. Northeast Asia Southeast Asia Others

20 North America s Role Will Decline Million Tons 5 Net Exports Net Imports Ethylene Net Equivalent Trade Ethylene Vinyls Styrenics Polyethylene Glycol Others Net Trade

21 NAM Polyethylene Shifts To Net Imports Million Tons 5 Net Exports Net Imports Ethylene Net Equivalent Trade Ethylene Vinyls Styrenics Polyethylene Glycol Others Net Trade

22 NAM Glycols and Vinyls Remain Positive Million Tons 5 Net Exports Net Imports Ethylene Net Equivalent Trade Ethylene Vinyls Styrenics Polyethylene Glycol Others Net Trade

23 Can the Shipping Infrastructure Support the Rapid Growth In Trade? Infrastructure in place for current trade level Will it support expected growth? How fast can it be expanded? Will the cost structure change? What about efforts towards integration in Asia or Middle East?

24 Global Ethylene Demand Growth! Global ethylene recovery dependent upon return to strong economic growth in major regions! Forecast assumes near term growth of about 5. million tons per year! Total consumption in Asia accelerates well beyond other regions driven mainly by growth in China

25 Percent Change Global Economic Growth Forecast Strong GDP growth in major regions results in strong petrochemical demand growth World N. America W. Europe SE Asia NE Asia

26 Return to Strong Demand Growth Driven by Assumption of Global Economic Recovery Percent Growth Ethylene Demand Growth GDP Growth

27 Return to Strong Demand Growth Driven by Assumption of Global Economic Recovery Percent Growth Annual average growth of 4.1 million tons Annual average growth of 4.8 million tons Ethylene Demand Growth GDP Growth

28 World Ethylene Consumption Driven by Major Regions Million Tons Total ethylene consumption forecast to reach 13 million tons by 21! Asia North America West Europe Middle East World

33 Ethylene Cash Margins Support Re-Investment But With New Approach Dollars Per Ton Re-Investment Cash Margins NAM Ethane NAM Light Naphtha WEP Naphtha SEA Naphtha

34 Ethylene Market Conclusions % Ethylene capacity growth restrained in North America and Europe as investments shift to low cost regions (MDE) and continue in high demand regions (Asia) % Regional competitive positions will shift with crude and natural gas price volatility % Recovery supported by renewed economic and manufacturing sector growth. Global shift in supply chain will change regional trade patterns % Margin recovery pushed to 5 /7 with sustained but more moderate margins through 28.

35 Global Strategic Issues for Propylene Middle East ethylene industry growth satisfies Asia C2 demand growth but little of the C3 growth. Asia stays critically short on propylene and other steam cracker co-products. Europe has similar problem, but not as bad. P/E price ratios in Europe & Asia expected to be higher. On-purpose propylene investments become justified, especially in Asia. Large propylene-sourcing related investments under consideration to solve supply problems.
