Some of the investments in the oil gas industry are even larger than the investment in a new supercritical coal-fired power plant. The gas-to-liquids plant now underway in Louisiana is estimated to cost between $11 billion and $14 billion. New refineries, LNG and tars sands plants are all multibillion dollar expenditures. Much of this is for liquid and gas flow and treatment equipment. In addition, the tar sands plants have big investments in material handling.

With the shale gas and liquids boom there are many projects to separate liquids from gas. Conversion of coal to chemicals is attracting billions of dollars of investment. China is the leader with both direct and indirect gasification processes.

McIlvaine tracks the projects and provides market forecasts in Oil, Gas, Shale and Refining Markets and Projects.
