Are we doing enough to
unlock shared value in
capital projects?
Creative partnerships to reduce cost and
enhance asset life cycle risk management
2. Are you doing enough?
The US is in place to be the most
competitive global manufacturer of
chemicals as a result of hydraulic
fracturing and natural gas, and the
wave of investments is far from over.

3. Independent market drivers
Petrochemical developments taking advantage of low-cost/abundant
feedstock will continue to be robust.
Midstream: major investment in pipelines, gas processing and LNG in US,
Canada and Mexico.
“Permania” in the US will dominate upstream spending. Canada becoming a
more regional market with IOCs reducing presence.
Infrastructure investment and structural changes will create port, rail and
power opportunities.
Financial investors/private equity will exert increasing control and create
new market opportunities.

6. Are you doing enough?
Relative to other adjacent market sectors,
Petrochemicals has not fully explored
collaboration models to unlock third-party
investment in noncore business areas,
including water and power utilities.

• Reduce capital to achieve FID
• Enhance access to advanced technologies
and expertise
• Mitigation of risks
• Fit-for-purpose commercial structure
• Whole of asset lifecycle view

Over the lifecycle, the project
capital construction cost is only
a percentage of the overall cost
impact of new infrastructure —
typically, capital only makes
up 30% to 50% of project
costs; the rest are related to
financing and O&M costs.
Most projects never get
priced for the entire life
of the project.

Notes de l'éditeur
This is where you set the context of how increasingly crowded the US market is becoming.
There is an estimated $180 billion dollars being invested in the North America chemical market
The first wave of ethylene capacity is already online
A second wave of construction is already underway for assets coming on-stream in ~2021
These projects are already well into detailed engineering
Customers looking to enter the market and compete with these new units are already behind and need to get their plans in place asap
As the market becomes increasingly competitive speed becomes critical

VALUE CHAIN: Pipelines, utilities, infrastructure along the entire value chain offer attractive opportunities for investment participation as these component are strategic to the value chain, assets can be structured and secured as liens, assets can be exited by equity investors without interruption of operations and operations risks can be ensured and managed.
REGULATORY/TAX REFORM: Proposed reforms would include combination of tax reduction, tax cuts (rates), tax incentives (for capital spending) and winners and losers are still being defined?
MARKET: During profitable periods, the industry tends to expand to oversupply without enough focus on margins through better feedstock sourcing and also further development of markets on the product side – both through more ownership and control of the assets involved.
SECTOR: As with many industries the tendency remains to stick to your knitting / what you know best and focusing on managing the costs associated with manufacturing.
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: Collaboration is occurring in adjacent markets and perhaps a structural or other barrier is restricting access of these benefits to Industry.
