He added, "The Port Arthur steam cracker is one of the biggest in the world, with a capacity of 1 million tons of ethylene per year. It was commissioned in 2001 to process naphtha, distilled from petroleum. In response to petroleum product price hike and the emergence of abundant gas resources, we adapted the steam cracker to give it flexibility and maintain its competitiveness. It can now use as a feedstock ethane, which costs around $30 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) - versus around $100/boe for naphtha - and liquefied petroleum gases such as butane and propane, which are also cheaper."
