Dancing in the Dark – Will There be Enough Supply For Gulf Coast Condensate Splitters?

Over 400 Mb/d of Gulf Coast condensate splitter projects could be online by the end of 2016.

But with low crude prices stalling production growth, splitter economics could suffer if demand exceeds supply and condensate prices increase as a result. Today we conclude our update on Gulf Coast splitters.
