The impact on the oil and gas industry valves and valve technology market - 2014-01-09 10:14:10

First, the global valve market

As the competition increasingly fierce global valve market , many world-renowned manufacturer of valves closed them in North America, Europe and Japan factory moved to China , India, South Korea and Central Europe , in order to reduce manufacturing costs of the valve, increase sales profits . With the increase of Chinese development and use of oil, gas dynamics , and China valve market increased significantly , which makes the most valve manufacturers set up factories in China, more value . Thus , the emergence of foreign factories in China 's valve business boom, some companies even have more than one plant in China , in order to shorten the transport distance and delivery time.

In 2004, the American Association announced valve valve market share in the United States reached $ 3.18 billion ; According to the data of China General Machinery Association , China 's valve market exceeded 200 billion yuan by 2010, China's domestic demand valve will reach 34.5 billion yuan . The global market sales of various types of valves at around $ 40 billion . Chinese valve manufacturer with more than 2000 statistics , with more than 1,400 other valve manufacturers in developed countries and developing countries , occupies 80% of the global market share ; additional valves combined company holds more than 10 to 20% of global market share.

Many types of valves , use is very widespread , oil and gas industry has been the biggest buyers valve market . Petroleum ( including oil refining ) , the largest amount of natural gas , 37.4% of the total amount ; valves for energy consumption by 21.3% ; third is the chemical industry , 11.5% ; followed by the field of water and wastewater treatment , 11.4 %.

Second, the development of major markets valves

1 . Oil and gas industry

In North America and some developed countries , there are many of the proposed expansion of oil projects , in addition, due to the growing emphasis on environmental protection, the establishment of a national environmental regulations , so many years ago to build a refinery to be reinvented , so in the next few years, oil exploration and refining investment funds will maintain the growth momentum . Chinese long-distance oil and gas pipeline construction and the future construction of the Russian long-distance pipeline will directly promote the growth of the oil industry valve market . According to oil and gas development and delivery of long-term development of the valve market , forecasting oil and gas development and transportation demand for valves from 2002 's $ 8.2 billion in 2005 to grow to $ 14 billion .

2 . Energy Industry

For a long time , the energy industry demand for valves has maintained a solid and stable growth . The world's total power generation of thermal power stations and nuclear power plant construction for 2 679 030MW, U.S. generating capacity of 743 391MW, other countries in the world new power plant projects generating capacity of 780 000MW, the coming years will increase by 40 %. Europe , South America, Asia, especially China 's energy market will become a new growth point of the valve market . From 2002 to 2005 , energy demand for valve products rose from $ 5.2 billion to $ 6.9 billion , an average annual growth of 9.3% .

3 . Chemical Industry

Chemical industry to more than 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars in the first row of the output value of industry, one of the largest valve market demand . Need to design more sophisticated chemical industry , processing of high quality , industrial valves rare materials . In recent years, the chemical market competition has become fierce , many chemical manufacturers were forced to cut costs, however , in 2003 and 2004 , the chemical industry output value and profits grow exponentially , the demand for valve products usher in a new 30 -year peak , shown in Figure 4 , after 2005, the chemical industry demand for valve products will be 5% per annum growth rate .

Third, the impact of the oil and gas industry to the valve technology

Despite centuries of oil , natural gas valve product range involved in the development and delivery is basically no change , but the valve manufacturers have been constantly updated valve technology, and actively respond to oil and gas industry market changes . If you want to stay ahead in the market or are not falling , valve manufacturers have to constantly update valve design , manufacturing, service, sales techniques and processes. The fact is that oil companies are increasingly demanding multi- valve manufacturer : Under a reasonable price , based on the advanced valve manufacturers must be good at solving problems faced by oil companies , in the work environment more severe , more stringent environmental requirements , the extended performance valve products , provide more service capabilities.

( 1 ) Metal seal

The world market for oil , natural gas demand rapid growth and development of crude oil footprint also travels to every corner of the earth to extract crude oil equipment proposed new requirements. For example, the ultra-deep technology equipment challenges ultra-low moderate high pressure . Extraction of extra heavy crude projects are optional profitable , especially in the crude oil reached $ 30 per barrel . Now the high concentration of asphaltenes and other impurities in crude oil transport and processing caused difficulties. Soft seal valve on the pipeline is usually unable to meet the requirements of the condition , which requires manufacturers to develop metal sealing ball valves , and can adapt to changes in temperature, pressure , even in the transportation of solid medium ( hydroxide , coke , etc. ) while also to ensure absolute seal. The metal sealing technology thanks to the development of surface coating technology. Valve manufacturers want to use this technology to maintain its leading position in the market , and the inclusion of spray technology development strategy , they and research institutes, universities , hoping to develop the next generation of " super-hard " coating .

( 2 ) Defense " explosive decompression ."

In 2002, the American Petroleum Institute standard API 6D requirements : design pressure levels higher than ASME Class 600 valves must be designed to prevent " explosive decompression ." Explosive decompression means when the pressure within the valve rapidly decreased due to infiltration of high pressure CO 2 in the seal due to the rapid expansion of pressure reduction , resulting in breaking the seal and the valve auriventris during shutdown , resulting in the phenomenon of valve failure . An oil platform in the deep sea for the first time discovered the phenomenon of explosive decompression valve , valve failure after the company had to stop work for several weeks to replace the valve , resulting heavy losses . Since then, oil pressure valves required to be provided by the valve manufacturer with an anti- "explosive decompression" configuration. Soon, valve manufacturers to respond quickly developed a defense " explosive decompression" seal and prevent " explosive decompression " valve in response to harsh environmental requirements.

( 3 ) Corrosion sulfur crude

Higher oil prices make oil companies to look at on the sulfur crude oil , sour crude oil market to invest in lucrative , long-term supply contracts are also competitively priced. But sulfur crude oil containing H 2 S and other corrosive media , the corrosion resistance of the device presents new challenges. Valve manufacturers can provide material ISO15156 regulations permit, may also provide test ( according to ISO15156 requirements ) data to prove that the corrosion resistance of the valve material and long life, the end-user manufacturers put these valves include corrosion resistant valves supplier list .

( 4 ) Fugitive emissions

ISO15848 provides for fugitive emission valve design requirements , the manufacturer redesigned the packing, sealing arrangement of ordinary valves and special valves to meet the updated standards. However, the new standards are too vague , too demanding , so there are many oil companies have developed their own emissions standards, such as many North American companies are referring to API 622 standards. Fugitive emissions from valves to further improve standards require valve manufacturers , users, standard setters tripartite cooperation , learn from each experience, three common solutions .

( 5 ) Early fatigue wear and equipment

Pursuit of economic interests, many refineries are overloaded. The result is endless capacity increase of production equipment and transformation systems. Expectations of business equipment far beyond the original intention of the design , which requires manufacturers to take precautions valve , users actively participate in the work of various items , to avoid the production process unreasonable adverse effects on the design of the valve reliability, longevity and safety . For example, the application of thermodynamic cycle system parts likely to cause thermal fatigue valve has a valve manufacturer of industrial process experience will make reasonable arrangements valve , reducing the likelihood of problems occurring .

( 6 ) Preventive Maintenance

Oil companies in order to ensure the production, equipment maintenance cycle requirements . With the development of the valve test systems, electronic hardware, software , preventive maintenance valve has become a reality by the concept of an intelligent . A small part of the proficient manufacturer of automatic control valves to provide data analysis system to quantify the valve operation, providing a valve preventive maintenance time.

( 7 ) Automatic actuator

Refining Process Automation is a general trend , the middle control technology has been developed for a long period of time. Automatic valve actuator manufacturer installed on the valve to achieve automatic control of production requirements. Automatic actuator technology has been greatly developed . On the other hand , manufacturers are also implementing agencies to provide users with the installation of the actuator valve products. Thus, the valve actuator and the trend of integration on a single manufacturer poses a challenge , after all, users want to find a company to solve the problem is more likely to avoid passing phenomenon .

( 8 ) Pipeline valve

Natural gas transportation pipeline project for pipeline valve is a very large potential market . For long-distance pipeline monitoring is very important. Some companies have developed smart devices , the user can be used to detect pipeline . For example, "smart pig" technology. This robot can detect wall thickness , and even corrosion points . However, detection devices on the pipeline diameter requirements, so bore ball long pipeline company became the product of choice . On the other hand , requires long pipeline wall thickness as thin valves , valve material has a high yield toughness , corrosion resistance, to accommodate pipeline stretching , turning , changing demands of the local environment . The most important point is that the manager requires long pipeline valve life must be longer than the line to buy their own life.

Fourth, the oil and gas industry new market trends

Economic leverage to make oil companies pay more attention to the development of extra-heavy crude oil, heavy crude oil refining process research overweight also have 10 years in this process, delayed coking unit and oil refining equipment can be greatly developed in these areas has become a driven valve market growth and technological progress valves powerful driving force. Valve manufacturers have been committed to addressing these devices as temperature, pressure , harsh new issues raised by the valve coking environment and has made gratifying achievements. While the original valves in this field in Venezuela , Mexico, Canada and India to buy the market decline, but China and Brazil valve market in the past four years show a rapid growth momentum. The next few years, China , Canada and Russia valve market will make something to look forward valve company .

Countries in the world each year to enhance environmental awareness , the refining process to strengthen the environmental pollution control is the trend. Such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the hydrotreating unit operating conditions more stringent requirements . In these devices, the new requirements of the prior art pressure release valve technical challenges : great pressure drop in how to keep the valve tightly closed . In fact, only a few companies can provide such a few valves valve products to meet the demanding requirements of working conditions .

LNG liquefaction plant and liquefaction stations, and GTL gas projects require a lot of cryogenic valves , the market prospects for the valve manufacturer is a rich fertile soil .

In addition, the next few years, hydrocracking unit , fluid catalytic cracking unit , hybrid fuel system , such as delayed coker valves and valve technology the new market demands . Although these processing system has been in existence for many years, but the end-user requirements for equipment have a longer life , and requires the valve manufacturer's products meet a higher standard.

In the dual challenges of the market and technology , advanced valve manufacturers always positive attitude towards change valve standards and market rules. They take the initiative to participate, to strengthen cooperation with the Standards Committee and valves associations to share information . Ultimately, no matter how the market changes , the advantage is always with those who are good at solving user problems valve manufacturer , and this advantage comes from cooperation with users in the field of valve condition . These valves valve manufacturers to encourage design engineers and end users interact , requiring design engineers went to the scene to understand the valves work environment. Innovative companies know that happy valves , valve technology development and market profits from the customer site work .

Next few years, the world's largest oil companies will continue to modify , supplement quality standards they chose valve to compensate for fugitive emissions , fire safety, ease of maintenance and other aspects of the problems . Valve manufacturer valve delighted at the continued growth in demand , sales growth of new technologies , but had to face the " lump sum payment " way valves profits brutally suppressed . Oil and gas industrial valve market this contradiction makes valve manufacturer must maintain its market share , while committed valve technology innovation work .
