中东,特别是海湾合作委员会(GCC)国家—巴林、科威特、阿曼、阿联酋、卡塔尔和沙特阿拉伯在过去30年已成为世界石化产品的主要出口国。但是,近来的低油价、优势原料短缺以及美国新增大量廉价页岩气原料石化产能,迫使中东国家不得不重新考虑其石化业未来发展战略。对于GCC国家来说,更大的挑战还来自于伊朗经济制裁将解除,进而恢复大规模的石油出口,并将加快石化投资,从而改变全球石化品供需平衡。
The Middle East, and in particular the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, have become the major exporters of petrochemicals in the world for the past 30 years. However, the recent low oil prices, the shortage of superior raw materials and the large amount of petrochemical production capacity of raw materials shale gas in the United States have forced the Middle East countries to reconsider their future development strategy for the petrochemical industry. For GCC countries, the bigger challenge comes from Iran’s economic sanctions to be lifted, thus resuming large-scale oil exports and accelerating petrochemical investment, thereby changing the balance between supply and demand of global petrochemical products.
