Opportunity Framing for the Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Industry
Define, scope, and evaluate chemical or petrochemical projects before formal investment or licensing. Bring together technical concepts, commercial objectives, and regional factors to create a clear, decision-ready project scenario.
What is Opportunity Framing?
Opportunity Framing is the structured process of defining, scoping, and evaluating a chemical or energy project before formal investment or licensing. It brings together technical concepts, commercial objectives, and regional factors to create a clear, decision-ready project scenario.
Visualize Process Input/Output Flows
Build BFDs across alternative chemical routes
Estimate Project Economics
Assess CAPEX, margins, and profitability from the outset.
Clarify Strategic Fit
Align projects with specific zones, markets, and value chains.
Accelerate Alignment
Bridge engineering and commercial needs in one unified frame.

Trusted by Industry Leaders
Chemframe has completely transformed the way we evaluate and develop chemical projects.
As an investor, gaining access to transparent and detailed feasibility assessments, including OPEX, CAPEX, and market insights, has saved us months of preliminary work. The ability to compare technologies, locations, and service providers all in one platform gives us the confidence to move forward with the right partners. Chemframe is not just a tool — it's an ecosystem that brings projects closer to reality faster and with lower risk.
Saaed Al Shanfari
Managing Director
Al Baleed Petrochemical
For many years, our advanced chemical technologies have been limited to domestic markets, but Chemframe has given us a unique opportunity to present our innovations to a global audience.
Through Chemframe, we can now showcase our processes directly to international investors and industrial zones actively seeking new technologies. This is the first time we have been able to connect so efficiently with global partners, and it opens new doors for licensing and collaboration. Chemframe is a true gateway for Chinese technology to enter the international market.
