(EnergyAsia, March 2, Monday) — The Oxford Princeton Programme will be holding a course on petrochemical economics in Singapore from March 16 to 18.

The ‘Petrochemical Markets and Economics – The Impact of Feedstocks and Costs on Competitiveness and Business Strategy’ will provide a fundamental understanding of petrochemical economic and the feedstock-price inter-relationships affecting market competitiveness.

The workshop will analyse the fundamentals of competitiveness in producing base chemicals and how these will affect business decisions, and process and feedstock selection. Participants will be taught to analyse production and supply costs.

Oxford Princeton said the course is not aimed at experts but, instead, will serve as an introduction to more specialised courses.

Topics covered include industry structure and feedstock linkages, petrochemical economics, analysis of feedstocks, technology and economics of olefins and aromatics, and commodity polymer trends.

Delegates are required to bring a laptop with the latest version of Microsoft Office installed.
