Global ocean engineering orders surged

Zhao Zehua, expert of the China Shipbuilding Industry Economic Research Center, said in Guangzhou that as the global oil and gas resources development center shifts to the ocean, the development investment will increase substantially, and the demand for offshore equipment will be huge, of which China alone will have a total investment of 2,500 yuan for offshore equipment in the next five years. 300 billion yuan. Affected by soaring oil prices, this year's offshore engineering industry has apparently resumed growth, with orders for drilling equipment and floating production platforms soaring by 50% or more.

China’s investment of 300 billion yuan in five years at Zhao Zehua analyzed the development status and trends of the world’s marine engineering equipment market in the International Maritime Exhibition held in Guangzhou. He said that although the three-purpose workboat rental market and offshore ship transactions are still sluggish in the offshore ship market, the platform supply boat leasing market has been restored, and the production equipment market has also recovered strongly, including new drilling equipment. Orders continued to increase. There were 30 orders from this year to October 15, which was an increase of more than 50% from the previous year. Among them, Singapore had 16 orders and China accounted for 5 orders.

The global floating production platform has an average of about 24 orders in the five years from 2004 to 2008. The number of orders began to decrease sharply in the fourth quarter of 2008. In 2009, the number of floating production systems in the world only reached seven. However, orders have increased significantly this year. As of October, the global total volume of oil and gas production equipment is 15 +1 vessels/seat. He believes that according to IEA's forecast, the world's primary energy demand will reach 16.8 billion tons equivalent by 2030, which is about 40% more than it is now. From now until 2030, the world's oil demand will increase at an annual rate of 1%, and by 2030 it will It reached 105 million barrels per day, an increase of 23.5% from 2008. At present, offshore oil and gas exploration is still in the early to mid-exploration stage, and the proven rate of offshore oil is about 30%.

In the total investment in marine oil and gas resources development, equipment generally accounts for 20% to 25%. According to conservative estimates, according to the average annual investment of 320 billion U.S. dollars in the development of the world’s offshore oil and gas resources in the next five years, the average annual capacity of the world’s marine engineering equipment market from 2011 to 2015 will be more than US$70 billion, and the total investment in marine engineering equipment during the period will be at least US$350 billion. .
