Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The propylene market in Shandong has shifted from tight supply before 2016 to near - balance or even oversupply currently due to the high - speed commissioning of propylene plants, especially PDH and naphtha cracking plants [4][12][28]. - After the listing of propylene futures, the market mainly trades on strong macro - policy expectations. The "anti - involution" policy is expected to promote the rectification and elimination of old - fashioned plants, which may reduce propylene supply and have a positive impact, but the extent remains to be tracked [14]. - In the short term, the propylene market shows a weak consolidation. Supply pressure persists with expected increases in propylene circulation due to plant restarts and new capacity releases. Demand has some short - term support but may not be sustainable during the off - season. Cost support from rising oil prices is offset by supply - demand pressures, resulting in a downward - pressured price trend [14]. Summary by Directory 1. Research Purpose - Explore the impact of propylene futures listing on the industry and understand the supply - demand situation of the propylene market in Shandong [10][11]. 2. Research Conclusion - **Supply - Demand Pattern**: Shandong's propylene production capacity exceeds 15 million tons, accounting for 21% of the national total, and the external sales volume accounts for 39%. It has changed from a supply - tight to a near - balanced or oversupplied market. There is a demand gap of nearly 600,000 tons, and it is a major propylene - importing province. Propylene flows in from the Northeast, Northwest, North, and Central China and flows out to East China [4][12][25]. - **Trading Mode**: Shandong is the national price benchmark for propylene, with earlier spot quotations. Contract sales in Shandong are less than 50%. Contracts are usually signed annually and settled monthly, while spot sales are full - payment locked - price. The flow of goods is determined by price differences, freight, and demand [4][12]. - **Cost - Profit**: The propane consumption of PDH plants is between 1.14 - 1.2, and the theoretical processing cost is between 1200 - 1500 yuan. The full cost of PDH - produced propylene is around 6100 - 6300 yuan/ton. Freight varies by transportation mode [4][15]. - **Inventory**: Inventory varies among enterprises. PDH enterprises generally have larger storage capacity and longer storage periods. During the research, enterprises reported low inventory and no obvious inventory pressure [4][15]. 3. Core Logic and Future Outlook - After the listing of propylene futures, the market is influenced by macro - policy expectations. The "anti - involution" policy may reduce supply, but the impact needs further observation. Currently, the market is in weak consolidation. Supply pressure exists due to plant restarts and new capacity, demand has short - term support but limited sustainability, and cost support is offset by supply - demand pressures [14]. 4. Specific Situations of Research Enterprises - **Enterprise A**: Total propylene capacity is 70,000 tons/year, using catalytic cracking. All products are sold externally. Current external sales are about 270 tons/day. The enterprise believes the market is oversupplied and focuses on PDH operations [15][16]. - **Enterprise B**: Total capacity is 355,000 tons/year, with 105,000 tons from catalytic cracking and 250,000 tons from PDH. One of the two gas - fractionation units is operating, with an output of about 75 tons/day. The PDH unit has been shut down for over three months [17]. - **Enterprise C**: Total capacity is 420,000 tons/year, with a 70% load on the mixed - alkane dehydrogenation unit. By - product hydrogen is sold externally. The acrylic acid unit is operating, and the propylene oxide unit is shut down due to profit issues [20]. - **Enterprise D**: Total capacity is 380,000 tons/year, with 80,000 tons from catalytic cracking and 300,000 tons from PDH. Only the gas - fractionation unit is operating, with an output of about 200 tons/day. The PDH unit is shut down [22]. - **Enterprise E**: Total capacity is 600,000 tons/year, using PDH. The PDH unit is operating at 90% load. The enterprise has a low - inventory strategy and is bearish on the market [24]. 5. Analysis of the Supply - Demand Pattern of Shandong Propylene - Shandong is a major propylene production and sales area, with a production capacity exceeding 15 million tons, accounting for 21% of the national total and an external sales volume accounting for 39%. There are regional differences within Shandong. There is a demand gap of nearly 600,000 tons, and the market has shifted from tight supply to near - balance or oversupply [25][27][28].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating 2. Core Views of the Report - The downstream PS and ABS开工率 remains low, and the demand for EB is still weak. The fundamentals of styrene are weaker than those of pure benzene [1][3] - The proportion of production capacity of plants over 20 years old in the production of pure benzene and styrene is 16% and 6%, respectively. The port inventory of BZ continues to consolidate without further inventory accumulation. The short - term downstream demand for BZ is acceptable, but the further increase in BZ processing fees is limited due to factors such as downstream finished product inventory pressure, port inventory pressure, and the pressure of South Korea's shipments to China [3] - The port inventory of styrene continued to rise during the week, and the domestic EB开工率 remained at a high level. It is necessary to wait for the production profit to be further compressed and production to be reduced for re - balancing [3] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Pure Benzene and EB's Basis Structure and Inter - Period Spread - The pure benzene main contract basis is - 204 yuan/ton (+23), and the styrene main contract basis is 43 yuan/ton (+15 yuan/ton) [1] - The spread between East China pure benzene spot and M2 is - 75 yuan/ton (- 5 yuan/ton) [1] 3.2 Production Profits and Domestic - Foreign Spreads of Pure Benzene and Styrene - Pure benzene CFR China processing fee is 159 dollars/ton (- 10 dollars/ton), and pure benzene FOB South Korea processing fee is 146 dollars/ton (- 10 dollars/ton) [1] - The non - integrated production profit of styrene is - 222 yuan/ton (- 56 yuan/ton), and it is expected to be gradually compressed [1] 3.3 Inventory and Operating Rates of Pure Benzene and Styrene - Pure benzene port inventory is 170,000 tons (- 100 tons), styrene East China port inventory is 164,000 tons (+13,300 tons), and styrene East China commercial inventory is 67,500 tons (+11,300 tons), which is in the inventory rebuilding stage [1] - The operating rate of pure benzene downstream products: caprolactam operating rate is 90.21% (- 0.69%), phenol operating rate is 73.00% (- 5.00%), aniline operating rate is 73.94% (+0.28%), and adipic acid operating rate is 64.80% (+0.00%) [1] - The operating rate of styrene is 78.9% (+0.1%) [1] 3.4 Operating Rates and Production Profits of Styrene Downstream - EPS production profit is 249 yuan/ton (+40 yuan/ton), PS production profit is - 71 yuan/ton (+20 yuan/ton), and ABS production profit is 320 yuan/ton (+32 yuan/ton) [2] - EPS operating rate is 54.25% (- 0.95%), PS operating rate is 53.30% (+1.70%), and ABS operating rate is 65.90% (- 0.92%), which is at a seasonal low [2] 3.5 Operating Rates and Production Profits of Pure Benzene Downstream - Caprolactam production profit is - 1615 yuan/ton (+150), phenol - ketone production profit is - 610 yuan/ton (+0), aniline production profit is - 160 yuan/ton (- 47), and adipic acid production profit is - 1381 yuan/ton (- 9) [1]
