Overview
FGE’s Condensate and Naphtha Service dissects and examines the volatile short-term market for condensate, to deliver clear, concise and insightful views on the forward market.
The East of Suez condensate market is in a constant state of flux. Given the concentration of supply in the Middle East, condensate is often caught in the crossfire of regional geopolitical tensions.
On the demand side, condensate lies at the heart of Asia’s large aromatics industry. This has resulted in steady arbitrage flows from West to East.
In our monthly report, we look closely at both condensate supply and demand East of Suez and forecast Eastern balances. We factor-in regular flows from the West and how much more condensate may be needed based on Eastern requirements.
At times, the tight condensate market has prompted splitters in Asia to switch to running heavy full-range naphtha. How long will this continue? In this report we also discuss the dynamics between both feedstock markets and the eventual impact on naphtha prices.
