Segmental Details: Petrochemicals
Analysis of production &
selling prices
Production: Production up by 4% compared to 2019, as the segment had lesser number of planned
and unplanned maintenance shutdowns during 2020 compared to last year;
Q4-20 production volumes slightly down on Q3-20, mainly as a result of planned shutdown at
MTBE facilities due to commercial reasons during Q4-20. This was partially offset by improved
production volumes from polyethylene facilities.
Selling Prices: Down on 2019 by 12%, due to reduction in crude oil prices and softened demand in
major markets amid outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.
Q4-20 selling prices improved by 15% compared to Q3-20, following continued recoveries noted
in crude oil prices and improved economic activities in key markets due to better demand on the
back of continuous government stimulus packages in most of the advanced and emerging
economies along with vaccine optimism.
