Petrochemical Associates International is a megacorporation whose primary focus is the fuel industry. The corp is the world's largest producer of the synthetic alcohol fuel CHOOH2, the primary fuel source of the future, and will do anything in its power to maintain dominance on the world stage.
With the collapse of most national oil companies after the 4th Corp War, Petrochem is keeping the world running, literally. They are the world's largest producer of CHOOH2 and represent over 60% of the global market share for that product
Petrochem is also one of the world’s largest oil producers. With the oil supply dwindling, most remaining fossil fuels are used to make plastics and other synthetics, and Petrochem has more fertile oilfields than any other company. All of these assets are huge, and accordingly hard to protect from other companies that would like to usurp Petrochem’s wealth. With such vast interests to protect, Petrochem invests huge amounts of money in protecting itself, maintaining an armed force worthy of a small country.
Petrochem also owns a huge fraction of the world’s arable land. The corporation uses most of it for CHOOH2 production but some of it is devoted to other crops. Petrochem's food products are shipped around the world for wholesale and retail distribution. Most of the agricultural products are sold under the name of the corporation's agricultural subsidiary, Continental Farms Agricorp. That corp was created solely as a marketing move, since it was felt that people would react badly to food products sold under the name Petrochem.
Exploiting the violent nature of the modern world, Petrochem also maintains a sizable department devoted to the development of chemical weapons, combat drugs and chemical explosives. Petrochem faces stiff competition from Militech in this department, but this has not stopped it from marketing a highly success-line of products to national and corporate armies across the globe.
Petrochem also bought the license to produce biological and viral agents developed by Biotechnica. Biotechnica is largely a development house, and it lacks the facilities for full-scale production of many of the items it creates. Because of the long, profitable relationship between the two corporations, Petrochem usually gets first crack at profitable licenses for Biotechnica weapons.
Petrochem also has holdings in many other products like Alternative Fuels, Advanced Materials and General Chemistry.
As shown on multiple trailers, Petrochem has a megabuilding on the core of Night City, right next to the Arasaka Towers. I believe this could be the new headquarters for the company as the building is just really impressive in size.
