| CHEMSYSTEMS EVENTS For the past 20 years, the ChemSystems conferences have been “must-attend” events. Today, Nexant continues the tradition under the ChemSystems Events banner. Currently scheduled events include:
Nexant ChemSystems Organic Chemical Industry Course Dr. Harold Wittcoff’s widely acclaimed course, An Overview of the Organic Chemical Industry: Technology, Economics and Markets, provides the basis you need for operating and surviving in today’s unsettled chemical industry.

October 24-25, 2006 Click here for more information or to register online. As the global petrochemical industry moves into a cyclical fly up with the likelihood of an extended period of good profitability for the next couple of years some important issues face the future of the North American petrochemical industry. A key concern is the lack of investment in North America (there are currently no new crackers or major expansions planned) for a number of reasons
This has led to a strong sense of urgency to invest outside of North America driven by advantaged feedstock (Middle East) and market growth (China). Unless a sizeable amount of additional capacity is built, the United States will become a large net importer of many ethylene and propylene derivatives before 2010. Will these off-shore investments by North American companies be the new supply base for the United States? Based on the known global expansion activities, particularly in China and the Middle East, there will be a large overcapacity of most ethylene, and some propylene, derivatives in the 2010-2012 period. Operating rates for the affected derivatives could again drop below 85% and margins could collapse. While this may seem too far away to worry about today, companies must plan for this period when they have the capital to change their business portfolio and strategic direction. Where, then, will companies invest their profits?
The Nexant/ICIS Houston Conference will address these and other pertinent issues. Click here for more information or to register online. For more information on Nexant’s ChemSystems conferences,
