Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US Ethylene Export Report 2016-2020" report to their offering.

Innovations in oil and gas drilling have led to lower production costs for crude oil and natural gas in the US, leading to surpluses of ethane and ethylene supplies. Surplus ethane output is expected to reach nearly 700,000 barrels per day by 2020, even after the commissioning of new ethylene production capacity.

The new additional ethylene production capacity planned by 2020 is projected at more than 10 million metric tons. In the same time frame over 8 million metric tons of new additional polyethylene production capacity is announced to come online. However, to date, few U.S. firms have marketed significant amounts of ethane or ethylene to international buyers other than Canada or Mexico, to whom export is made via pipeline.
