With the recent volatility of the oil and gas industry, diversifying Canada’s energy sector is a necessity. The advent of shale gas development has led to a wave of natural gas liquid extraction that has benefitted petrochemical producers across the continent. The US Gulf Coast is developing several petrochemical expansion projects and location initiatives and co-location with derivative plants make this area attractive for investment. This region is likely the strongest competition for the Canadian petrochemical supply chain.

The key to success in this new business environment is understanding the global outlook and the demands of these new and emerging markets. It also requires positioning the Canadian petrochemical industry to be competitive on the world stage. Incenting investment with the right kind of programs and policies, is critical for successful growth and diversification in this country as well as ensuring the long-term viability of these new projects.

dmg::events, the global events business that manage over 80 events in 25 countries including ADIPEC and Global Petroleum Show, are producing, for the second consecutive year, PetroChem Canada.

“The goal is to build confidence in participants that with the right strategies, Canada can seize opportunities to remain competitive in this ever-changing petrochemical landscape.”

The conference will focus on understanding the global petrochemical industry outlook, how to maximize Canada’s role and will provide a big picture outlook before going in depth into specific national as well as regional opportunities and challenges.
