Supply Chain
Petrochemicals Supply Chain
The petrochemicals supply chain converts oil and natural gas into the chemical building blocks — ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene — that become plastics, synthetic fibers, solvents, packaging, and fertilizer intermediates, governed by three root constraints: feedstock dependency that permanently couples the cost structure to energy markets, cracker economics where $5-10 billion steam crackers run continuously and cannot be switched between feedstocks once built, and derivative chain branching where a single cracker's output splits into thousands of end products through irreversible chemical pathways that the operator cannot redirect in response to demand.
Oil and Gas Supply Chain
The oil and gas supply chain moves crude oil, natural gas, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and plastics feedstock from subsurface reservoirs to end consumers through an infrastructure system governed by three root constraints: geological fixity of reserves that cannot be manufactured or relocated, capital cycle lengths of five to ten years that make investment decisions effectively irreversible, and infrastructure lock-in from pipelines, refineries, and terminals that are geographically fixed and take decades to build, producing a system where supply responses lag demand signals by years and physical bottlenecks determine competitive outcomes more than pricing power.
