Peru Petrochemicals Report 2013
Business Monitor International, November 2012, Pages: 54
BMI’s Peru Petrochemicals Annual Report examines the potential expansion of the downstream industry,
specifically the opportunities arising from the Camisea project, which could supply the market with an abundance of ethane-rich gas that could support a world-scale, export-oriented petrochemicals complex.
The report also assesses the progress of pipeline infrastructure projects, which will be crucial to feeding the planned downstream polyethylene (PE), ammonia and derivatives complexes.
Potential gas extraction could provide substantial ethane feedstock to justify the creation of a world-scale cracker and associated plants. The second phase of the Southern Andean gas pipeline aims to provide feedstock for a Braskem- and Petroperú-owned petrochemicals plant that is being built in the southern Pacific coastal region. The Peruvian government wants the new petrochemicals complex to be operational by the end of 2015.
A world-scale cracker would require at least 1bn cubic metres (bcm) of ethane feedstock and BMI believes that output needs to be ramped up to meet current domestic requirements in addition to the needs of a petrochemicals complex. Attention has also focused on the development of the fertiliser sector.
Proposed projects could provide 2.41mn tonnes per annum (tpa) of ammonia capacity, but BMI does not believe any of these projects will be completed before 2015. Furthermore, Nitratos del Peru plans to produce around 710,000tpa of ammonia and 350,000tpa of industrial-grade ammonium nitrate.
BMI has the following forecasts/views:
- We are projecting over 13bcm of natural gas output by 2017, which should be sufficient to support plans by PetroPeru and Braskem for a 1mn tpa PE complex.
- BMI does not believe the pipeline infrastructure will be in place to support a world-scale complex by 2016, as envisaged by Ollanta Humala’s administration. An investment decision depends on whether Braskem believes a Peruvian facility will be able to compete with the anticipated surge in US cracker capacity in 2017, when 5.7mn tpa of ethylene production is scheduled to come onstream.
- Peru is currently devoid of olefins capacity and there is unlikely to be any improvement likely in the medium-term. As a result, the country is at the bottom of BMI’s Americas Petrochemicals Risk/Reward Ratings (RRRs), behind Venezuela. Nevertheless, the country’s massive gas reserves mean it has plenty of potential and BMI sees no reason why its score should not, in the long term, improve markedly. However, state intervention has led to a decline in country risk saw.
