At the beginning of the 21st century, about 25% of Shell's chemicals assets were located in Asia Pacific and the Middle East. By 2010, this proportion is expected to rise to more than one third, ensuring that Shell is well positioned to meet the region's growing demand for petrochemicals.
The $4.3 billion CSPCL Nanhai joint venture between CNOOC and Shell Nanhai BV opened in 2006, while a new integrated petrochemical facility, the Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex, will start up in 2009/10. Shell is also continuing to focus on securing competitive feedstock in the Middle East.
