OUTLOOK

"During the past several months, the industry outlook for 2017 has steadily improved. Healthy U.S. and global economic activity and ethylene project delays have led to an improved forecast for industry supply and demand dynamics. Global supply positions have provided optimism regarding crude oil prices and NGL supply. While we will continue to watch these developments, the significant investments in our 2016 maintenance programs favorably position the company for 2017," Patel said.
