5 Historical background Petrochemicals in Egypt : 1940`s : Petrochemicals industry started when the first ammonia plant was built in Suez. 1940`s 1984 : production of Linear Alkyl benzene 1984 in Amerya Petroleum Co : The first Egyptian direct Investment in Petrochemicals was in start up of the Egyptian 1987 Petrochemicals company for producing PVC in Alexandria. October 2000 : start up of SIDPEC plant for producing PE (Egyptene) totally October dependent 2000 on Egyptian natural gas. in Alexandria : start up of OPC 2001 plant for producing Polypropylene in Suez.

Supply and Demand : Egypt produce 28% of plastics material consumed annually In 2006 Egypt consumed 1.64 million tons In 2012 Egypt consumed 2.07 million tons Average growth rate of market demand = 6% annually Polyethylene (PE) Product Consumption (2012) Thousand tons 555 Balance 65% imported Growth rate 7% Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) 220 Totally imported 6% Polypropylene (PP) % imported 7% Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) % imported (Resin+compound) 5 % Polystyrene (PS) 110 Totally imported 6%

7 Totally imported Source: SIDPEC Market research 3.i. Supply and Demand : (continued) Egypt imports nearly 100% of Engineering plastics material. Engineering Plastics represent 11% of the Egyptian Plastics demand. (As commonly called in the Egyptian market) Acrylic Fiber Product Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) (resin) Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Others Total Engineering plastics consumption: Consumption (2012) Thousand tons Balance 90 % imported Nearly 100% imported Growth rate 7% 4% 10% 5% N/A N/A

11 5. a. Egyptian opportunities: Industry Fundamentals Upstream feedstock integration Horizontal integration: upgrade by products Refinery Petrochemicals Economy of scale Strategic Alliances with existing producers Alternative product supply (scrap and rebuild) Offer domestic market access in exchange of feedstock Local NGL developments IHS 3 rd petrochemicals conference Cairo Oct. 2012

12 5. b. Egyptian opportunities: Develop a domestic market Compounding Pipes and fittings for the surrounding region Packaging for the fishing and agriculture sector More fibres related developments Private sector How to stimulate the private sector Automotive Parts Production Clear investment guidelines attract foreign investments IHS 3 rd petrochemicals conference Cairo Oct. 2012

13 6. Case studies 6.1- Undergoing initiation. Upgrading by products : SIDPEC polyethylene wax project Introducing Researches to commercial scale New R&D organisation SIDPEC Marketing mix improvement.

14 6.2- Diversify feedstock (future cases). Naphta cracking Tahrir petrochemicals complex this olefin complex should produce: 1.3 million t/y ethylene, 1.3 million t/y polyethylene 600,000 t/y propylene, 210,000 t/y butadiene. Tahrir Petrochemicals should also include aromatic facilities to deliver 420,000 t/y benzene. Gas to olefin GTO This project targets optimizing the Egyptian natural gas usage, 1 million T/Y of olefins ( Ethylene and Propylene)and to produce 1 million T/Y of Polyolefins Shale gas in Egypt are a non-marine deposition and non deposition likely to be oil prone which has a very low potential.

15 6.3- SIDPEC Markets SIDPEC is the sole producer of HDPE and LLDPE resin in EGYPT with the trade name Egyptene where it is manufactured under Innovene license. SIDPEC annual production capacity is (220 thousand tons) from HDPE and supposed LLDPE but the latter is out of production plan due to some feasible and technical reasons. SIDPEC`s HDPE allocations trend : 2006 / / / 2012 Local 50% Export 50% Local 60% Export 40% Local 70% Export 30% Source: SIDPEC Market research

17 Source: SIDPEC Market research SIDPEC Local & Export Market position SIDPEC Export Market Position 5% 2% 1% SIDPEC export reached 59 countries. But due to the increased demand from the Local market SIDPEC reduced the export quota. The pie chart represent percentage of 2010 allocations by continent as a destination. 30% 62% Europe Asia Africa S.America N.America

18 Source: SIDPEC Market research (C) Conclusion The ability of balancing feedstock limitations by project integration and by-product upgrading Develop an optimal portofolio for meeting demand Exports is the short term fix Domestic market is the long term wealth
