INTRODUCTION
The petrochemical industry sector has been one of the most dynamic sectors of the Asia-Pacific region from the perspective of market potentials for products and in terms of investments that are being made in the countries of the region. One after another, major petrochemical industry projects that were suspended due to the Asian financial crisis have resumed implementation, and new projects are being identified given the natural resources of the region.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The present study aims to identify opportunities for foreign direct investors to cooperate in the development of Asia-Pacific petrochemicals industry projects. It also seeks to identify the market potentials in the region for petrochemical products - markets in which traders, both regionally and worldwide, might have interests.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
The Asia-Pacific region is endowed with huge petroleum resources, both oil and gas, which provide the basis for developing oil- and gas-based petrochemicals industries. These present resources and prospects for the future have to be kept in perspective when planning the petrochemicals sector. The world-scale petrochemicals projects emerging in this region and the markets they are targeting need to be reviewed in order gain a proper perspective of the Asia-Pacific sector.
SCOPE AND FORMAT
The petrochemicals sector of the following countries will be extensively reviewed. Oil and gas resource potentials will be covered, as well as the present industry status in each country, their future plans, emerging projects, regulations related to foreign investment, and markets for petrochemical products. The countries covered in this report include:
- Brunei
- People's Republic
