Sulfur reduction and octane improvement primary focus
GCC Fuel Quality Change Drivers 2012-2030
Prevalence of
MTBE blending
No regulatory
push to increase
octane, but
market octane
demand
expected to
increase
No ethanol push
Benzene and
aromatics
reductions
expected
beginning in
2016 in GCC

Proposed/Confirmed FQ Changes
• Jordan (GCC applicant)
– 2018: 400 to 50 ppm sulfur
• Kuwait
– 2018: 500 to 10 ppm sulfur
• Saudi Arabia
– 2016: FQ Roadmap
• Sulfur: 1,000 to 10 ppm
• Benzene: 3 to 1 vol% max
• Aromatics: No limit to 35 vol% max
• Olefins: 20 to 18 vol% max

Market octane demand expected to increase, desulfurization a key driver along with
phase out of low octane grades

Middle East Production Middle East Demand
 Robust demand growth in Arab Gulf stems from population increases
and economic growth coupled with subsidized gasoline prices
 The above positive factors will be offset partially by lower growth in
the rest of the Middle East
 Significant level of refining investments will shift the region from a net
importer to net exporter

Region becomes a net exporter after 2020
Middle East Gasoline Net Imports, 2012-2030
 From a regional perspective, Latin America and Africa will remain net
importers of gasoline throughout the forecast timeframe
 North America and Middle East will shift from being net importers to
net exporters

Highlights and Observations
• Oxygenates Limits
– 10 vol% max: Kuwait, Oman, UAE
– 15 vol% max: Saudi Arabia, Qatar
– No limit: Bahrain
• Oxygen limit:
– 2.7 wt% max: Kuwait, Iran, Oman, Jordan,
UAE
– No limit: Bahrain, Qatar (proposed for 2015),
Saudi Arabia
• Metallic Additives
– In use in Iraq and Yemen
• No ethanol blending in the region
– Though American producers are hunting for
export markets!
• No methanol blending in
the region at this time

 Latin America constrained on refining capacity for producing volume and gasoline octane
 Russia has large octane deficit due to increasing octane and removal of metallic additives
 China has large octane deficit due to sulfur reduction and removal of metallic additives;
China has limited refinery octane producing capability

Demand to increase, will largely be supplied by domestic production
Stratas Base Case: GCC MTBE Demand
 Demand to increase as region reduces sulfur, improves octane
