Significant Investments in LPG export terminal capacity and
midstream processing confirm market commitment to
exports
n 
Unlike the LNG sector, fewer regulatory approvals
are needed for LPG export terminals
n 
NGL Production, in excess of domestic demand, has kept
U.S. LPG prices low relative to the world market and is
driving export growth
n 
US residential and petchem demand should be offset
by increasing use of ethane and natural gas

n 
There are currently four Chinese PDH plants in
operation
n 
It estimated that total new propane demand from Chinese
PDH plants in 2015 will be about 2 million tonnes
n 
Sinopec, Tianjin Bohai, Oriental Energy, Fujain Meide,
and Shaoxing Sanyuan Petrochemical have all signed long
term supply contracts for US LPG
n 
China is expected to reduce its reliance on imported
polypropylene, which currently accounts for
approximately 30% of its demand
Note: Propylene production capacity to VLGC Equivalents of Propane demand: 1 tonne of propylene requires 1.18 tonnes of propane; 1 VLGC equivalent is 44,000
tonnes of propane
