EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The report titled Qatar Naphtha Market Outlook to 2018 - CTL and GTL Technologies to
Provide Growth Impetus presents a comprehensive analysis of the industry including market
size by naphtha production and naphtha exports and market segmentation by production of
naphtha from refineries, by consumption of naphtha in petrochemicals sector and by naphtha
gross inland availability and change in stocks. The report also entails a detailed description on
the recent trends and developments in the market and the competitive scenario of major players
in Qatar naphtha market along with the production share of major companies in Qatar naphtha
market.
The supply and demand chain of naphtha in Qatar affects the countries across the globe as the
country exports a major portion of its naphtha production. The potential factors affecting naphtha
production and exports in Qatar are oil production (particularly condensate), prices and demand
in refineries and petrochemicals and chemical industries due to diversifying product portfolio
obtained from naphtha. Middle East Naphtha Market has witnessed an appreciable growth at a
CAGR of 7.7% during the period 2007-2013. Qatar is the fourth largest naphtha producing
country in the Middle East region.
Qatar naphtha market produces naphtha solely through refinery processes. It is analyzed that the
country had amplified its naphtha production from 1,053.0 thousand tons in the year 2007 to ~
thousand tons in the year 2013. This enormous increase in production has led to a stupendous
CAGR of 42.8% during the period 2007-2013. Qatar produces its entire naphtha requirement
from world class refineries. The refinery capacity addition in the year 2010 enhanced naphtha
production from ~ thousand tons in the year 2009 to appreciable ~ thousand tons in the year
2010. Qatargas is the leading company operating in the countrys naphtha producing regime. The
company produces appreciable naphtha yields through its Laffan refinery 1.
Qatar is coming up with large scale commercial projects coupled with technical routes to convert
solid fuel such as coal or gaseous fuel to liquid fuels such as diesel and naphtha. The technology
utilizes Fischer Tropsch synthesis process for utilizing gas-to-liquids (GTL) and coal to liquid
(CTL) techniques. It is forecasted that the naphtha production will surge from ~ thousand tons in
the year 2014 to massive ~ thousand tons by the year 2018 due to the enhancing refining
capacities and upcoming petrochemical projects. The exports are anticipated to witness a similar
trend of production thereby estimated to register a significant growth at a CAGR of ~% during
the forecasted period 2013-2018.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The report titled Kuwait Naphtha Market Outlook to 2018 - Demand for Naphtha Exports
to Lead Industry Transformation presents a comprehensive analysis of the industry covering
aspects including market size by naphtha production, naphtha exports and market segmentation
by production of naphtha from refineries & plants and by consumption of naphtha in
petrochemicals sector. The report also entails a discussion on the recent trends and developments
in the market and the competitive scenario of major players in Kuwait naphtha market.
The supply and demand chain of naphtha in Kuwait affects the countries across the globe as the
country exports its entire naphtha production. The potential factors affecting naphtha production
and exports in Kuwait are oil production, prices and demand in refineries, petrochemicals and
chemical industry followed by diversifying product portfolio obtained from naphtha. Middle East
Naphtha Market has witnessed an appreciable growth at a CAGR of 7.7% during the period
2007-2013. Kuwait is the second largest country operating in Middle East naphtha market.
Naphtha production has witnessed a substantial growth at a CAGR of ~% during the period
2007-2013. The country principally exports to continents such as Asia.
Kuwait produces naphtha either through its refinery operations or through various processing
techniques employed at its chemical plants. Kuwait has produced more than 80% of its total
naphtha from refinery operations at a noticeable CAGR of 2.8% during the period 2007-2013.
The production from these plants has fairly increased from ~% in the year 2007 to ~% of the
total naphtha production in the year 2013. The naphtha which is consumed for petrochemicals
production is not utilized for indigenous use rather exported to other countries. The country
drives its oil & gas related activities through Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), Kuwait
National Petroleum Company (KNPC) and its subsidiaries.
The naphtha exports are the basis for the rising naphtha production in Kuwait. It is forecasted
that the naphtha production will surge from ~ thousand tons in the year 2014 to gigantic ~
thousand tons by the year 2018 due to the upcoming petrochemical projects. The exports are
anticipated to be analogous to the production and thereby augmented to register significant
growth at an appreciable CAGR of ~% during the forecasted period 2013-2018.
