London (PRWEB) July 2, 2005 -- ICIS, the world’s largest information provider
for the global chemical industry, launches ‘Petrochemicals – A Beginners’
Course’ in the Middle East on 19 September. To be held in Dubai, the course,
which is intended to give an introduction to the petrochemical industry, comes
at a time when Middle East petrochemical production investment is growing
rapidly with several major petrochemical complexes planned to be
built.
Within five years, the region will account for a significant 20%
of global ethylene capacity, the building block from which many petrochemicals
are made. The attraction of the Middle East as a production location is the
abundance of low cost oil and natural gas. Its proximity to the fast-growing
markets in Asia make it a hub for the plastics and petrochemical industries.
Aimed at newcomers to the petrochemicals industry as well as those
providing services to this sector, 'Petrochemicals – A Beginners’ Course'
explains the fundamental relationship between oil/gas, petrochemicals and the
everyday products we purchase and consume. 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 about how oil and petrochemicals impact one another as they
are increasingly used in consumer production,” he said.
These
introduction courses to petrochemicals are designed and delivered by ICIS
editors and reporters to provide new starters with the tools to understand the
basics from both business and technical standpoints.
ICIS training will
run this course at The Grand Hyatt, Dubai (19 September) before its successful
Middle East Base Oils Conference (20 September). There will also be an
‘Petrochemicals – A Beginners’ Course’ in Cologne, Germany on 14 November.
