ICIS training launches a beginners course to explain the petrochemical industry in non technical terms. The course will cover basic chemical chains, relationship between oil and petrochemicals, petrochemical global players and trends, future trends and regional picture, pricing & markets and basic forwards and futures.
London, (PRWEB) October 3, 2005 -- ICIS, the worlds largest information provider for the global chemical industry, launches Petrochemicals A Beginners Course in China on the 25th November 2005. To be held in Shanghai, the course is intended to give an introduction to the petrochemical industry, a sector that is still growing in China at 8-9%/year despite a recent slowdown.
During 2005, three major petrochemical complexes will have undergone start-up, boosting ethylene capacity in the country to nearly 10m ton/year. But in a background of volatile oil markets, will petrochemicals be able to compete against Chinas soaring gasoline demand in sourcing its oil-derived raw materials? And will this impact Chinas future ability to export textiles, electronic equipment and other consumer products?
'Petrochemicals A Beginners Course' explains the fundamental relationship between oil products and petrochemicals, and then how petrochemicals are used in the many everyday consumer products which China manufactures for local demand and export. The petrochemical business and fundamentals that drive markets are covered, providing delegates with the tools to be able to apply their knowledge to the bigger picture.
ICIS training courses bring clarity and focus to often difficult concepts and ideas, commented Christopher Flook, ICIS training Publisher. Our training seminars are designed for newcomers to the industry, analysts and service providers, as well as product specialists who want to refresh their knowledge of the big picture. Delegates will learn the basics from both business and technical standpoints and how oil and petrochemicals impact one another as they are increasingly used in consumer production, he said.
ICIS training will run this course at The Four Seasons Hotel, Shanghai on the 25th November 2005. Other successful events have been held in Amsterdam, Singapore and Dubai.
