Modeling and Identification of Economic Disturbances in the Planning of the Petrochemical Industry

Abstract: The petrochemical industry is a dynamic industry and can be seen as a network of chemicals from basic feedstock to final chemicals. The aim of this work is to identify and model long-and short-range disturbances that affect planning of the petrochemical industry. An application to the Kuwait Petrochemical Industry was performed. The major disturbance is the oil prices that affect chemical prices and consequently profit. Future chemical prices needed for planning are predicted using three forecasting models: si… Show more

“…These primary petrochemicals have an enormous economic significance according to the types of raw materials used. For example, most petrochemical industries in Middle Eastern countries have started to use their own resources to export intermediate or final products with increasing benefits for their economies. , The petrochemical sector is predicted to be worth approximately USD 600 billion globally and is a very competitive market . Furthermore, the profit margin is very sensitive to the markets of petrochemical products.…”

“…15 Recently, many Middle Eastern countries have applied this methodology for their petrochemical industry development because they are developing a petrochemical industry using their ample resources. [16][17][18] It is important to note that the study of synergy can also be applied to process synthesis, [19][20][21][22][23][24] process design, [25][26][27][28] and process operating problems. 29,30 The synergy resulting from increasing the scale of a company generally is a consequence of increasing the market power in upstream and downstream markets and reducing the fixed cost per unit product.…”
