Petrochemicals

Meridian Energy’s petrochemicals portfolio includes MTBE, paraxylene and toluene, among other products. We combine market knowledge, commercial flexibility and coordinated physical execution to respond to changing customer requirements.

Flexible petrochemical supply

Petrochemical requirements can vary by product, specification, quantity, timing and destination. Our role is to understand those requirements, identify a suitable supply opportunity and structure the transaction so that commercial terms, documentation and logistics work together.

Our wider trading platform supports this process through origination, operations, chartering, financing, hedging and risk management. Close coordination across these functions helps the team respond efficiently as market conditions and customer needs evolve.

How we manage a transaction

• Origination: We monitor market opportunities through relationships with producers, suppliers and trading partners.
• Customer-led structuring: Supply arrangements are developed around operational requirements, schedules and agreed product terms.
• Physical execution: Operations and chartering teams coordinate documentation, counterparties and cargo movement.
• Commercial risk: Pricing, credit exposure and financing are assessed as part of the transaction rather than as separate afterthoughts.
• Governance: Counterparty due diligence, compliance checks and continuous monitoring support responsible trading decisions.

Building a broader petrochemicals capability

Meridian Energy’s history includes the execution of its first paraxylene supply to China in 2025, an important milestone in the expansion of the petrochemicals portfolio. We continue to pursue opportunities that complement our core business and fit our long-term commercial direction.
