With the deterioration of the global climate, the zero-emission challenge, the epidemic, geopolitical conflicts, fluctuations of oil prices, and other international instability factors, the operation of the refining and petrochemical market has been greatly affected.

However, with diminishing impact of the epidemic, and the gradual relaxation of lockdown policies, Thailand which as Southeast Asia's second-biggest economy expects domestic fuel, and petrochemical products demand to rapidly increase in the foreseeing future.

Facing surplus of refined petroleum products as well as Aromatics, Olefins products, and under the turbulent external environment, the Thailand refinery and petrochemical operators must take actions on transformation and reconfiguration of Downstream Industry.

In order to maintain the competitiveness, reduce costs and keep profits, the Thai refinery and petrochemical operators not only take ways of reducing oil and increasing petrochemical products, but extending the industrial chain to high value-added products (HVP), increasing feedstock flexibility, promoting the integration and upgrading of downstream production capacity, through the technologies of Process Innovation, Energy Efficiency, Environmental Protection, Digital Transformation, Operational Excellence, Safety Performance, and etc..
