The escalation of tensions involving the Strait of Hormuz is placing material strain on global energy markets, with Asia’s refining and petrochemical sectors at the forefront of the impact.

Join our Asia Chapter for an evening presentation that will provide attendees with a data-driven assessment of how supply disruptions are affecting crude and feedstock flows, refining margins, and downstream operations across the Asia-Pacific region.

With approximately 20% of global oil supply transiting Hormuz—predominantly bound for Asian markets—the region faces acute exposure to supply dislocation, freight volatility, and pricing pressure. Our featured speaker will examine the immediate operational implications for refiners, including feedstock substitution constraints, margin compression, and emerging force majeure dynamics.

The session will also focus on Southeast Asia, and Singapore in particular, as a key refining and trading hub navigating these disruptions. It will explore how market participants are responding in real time, and assess the extent to which sustained disruption could reshape regional trade flows, refining competitiveness, and investment strategy.

Designed for commercial, legal, and trading professionals, this event will provide practical insights into risk allocation, contractual stress points, and strategic positioning in an increasingly volatile market environment.

Food and drinks will be served during the networking reception.

This event is complimentary for members, $25 for non-members, and $10 for non-member students. Please register at the link to the right by May 18.
