What are Petrochemicals?
• Set of very specific chemical compounds
• Generally speaking a petrochemical is a chemical derived from oil or natural gas
– Vast majority of petrochemicals are derived from oil or natural gas
– U.S. mostly uses nat gas

Petrochemicals 101
• Base petrochemicals
– Ethylene - Benzene
– Propylene - Toluene
– Butadiene - Xylene
• Let’s focus on ethylene
Ethane Ethylene

Impact of Shale Revolution
• U.S. chemical industry is the largest industrial consumer of nat gas
• New economics = U.S. competitive advantage
– 2008 – nat gas was selling for ~$12.50/MM Btus
– Today – less than $3/MM Btus
• Dramatic reversal – U.S. now one of the most affordable for chemical production

Impact on U.S. Chemical Industry
• 238 projects announced
• $145B in new capital investment
• 383,000 direct and indirect jobs by 2023
• More than half of the investment is by firms based outside the U.S.
