Recent developments such as the sharp drop in crude prices have shaken the energy industry and downstream markets. The resulting short-term and structural changes have created uncertainty among energy and petrochemical players. Amid rapidly evolving supply, demand and price trends, as well as the shifting energy mix, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the industry and its direction.
