There appears to be a growing consensus among students of the LP-gas industry that (1) the worldwide surplus of supplies of LP-gases will continue and grow, and (2) this will provide ample opportunity for market development between now and the year 2000, but (3) that development will be largely in the field of petro-chemical feedstocks, although (4) if the price should not remain competitive with feedstocks such as naphtha, the surpluses could find their way into the U.S., if (5) the price is right. This viewpoint was set forth for the benefit of the delegates to the convention May 19-20 of the European LP-Gas Association in Venice, Italy, by Rick Haun, vice president of Purvin and Gertz, the Dallas consulting firm.
