Rising global LNG production will likely cause a shift in petrochemical feedstocks

摘要

The impending rapid increase in the production and consumption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is widely recognized as a major factor that will affect the natural gas markets in many regions of the world.However,the related increase in the production of the natural gas liquids (NGLs) in the gas,and the effect that this increase will have on the petrochemical industry,is generally less recognized.
