JG Summit Holdings will conduct a feasibility study on the potential expansion of its petrochemical facility in Batangas, the Philippines. The company plan to spend USD 500-600 million in expanding petrochemical operations. JG Summit expects to expand the capacity of the petrochemical plant at Batangas to 500 kta from 320 kta by 2019. In 2014, JG Summit started up the Philippines' first naphtha cracker at Batangas, which was designed to produce 320 kta of ethylene and 190 kta of propylene.
