Global marine engineering orders surge

Zhao Zehua, an expert from China Shipbuilding Industry Economic Research Center, said in Guangzhou that as the focus of global oil and gas resources development shifts to the ocean, development investment will increase significantly, and the demand for offshore equipment is huge. Among them, only China will invest in total offshore equipment in the next five years. 250 billion to 300 billion yuan. Affected by the sharp rise in oil prices, offshore engineering has obviously resumed growth this year, among which orders for drilling equipment and floating production platforms have surged by 50% and more than doubled respectively.
 
China invests 300 billion in 5 years
At the International Maritime Exhibition held in Guangzhou, Zhao Zehua analyzed the development status and trend of the world marine engineering equipment market in the future. He said that although the three-purpose workboat leasing market and offshore engineering vessel transactions are still sluggish, the platform supply vessel leasing market has recovered, and the production equipment market has also recovered strongly, among which the new drilling equipment The number of orders received is increasing. From this year to October 15, there were 30 orders, an increase of more than 50% over last year. Among them, 16 orders from Singapore and 5 orders from China.  
In the five years from 2004 to 2008, the average annual order for floating production platforms in the world was about 24, and the number of orders dropped sharply in the fourth quarter of 2008. In 2009, only seven floating production systems were sold globally. However, orders have increased significantly this year. As of October, a total of 15+1 units/seat of oil and gas production equipment have been traded in the world. He believes that according to the IEA forecast, the world's primary energy demand will reach 16.8 billion tons of equivalent in 2030, an increase of about 40% compared with the current; It reached 105 million barrels per day, an increase of 23.5% over 2008. At present, offshore oil and gas exploration is still in the early and middle stages of exploration, and the proven rate of offshore oil is about 30%.  
In the total investment in the development of offshore oil and gas resources, equipment generally accounts for 20% to 25%. It is conservatively estimated that according to the average annual investment of 320 billion US 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 exceed 70 billion US dollars, and the total investment in marine engineering equipment during the period will be at least 350 billion US dollars. .
