Thousands of Projects Worth Hundreds of $ Billions in Booming Oil and Gas
Industry
Depending on the definition, the number of opportunities in the oil and gas
sector ranges from a few thousand to over one million. At the top end,
there are single projects where the investment will exceed $10 billion. This is
the conclusion reached in Oil, Gas, Shale and Refining Markets and Projects
published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

Existing gas and oil wells need pumps, valves, compressors, instrumentation and
control equipment. Accuracy is needed due to the custody transfer and value of
the products. Despite the large number of existing wells, the major capital
investment is in a relatively small number of large projects.
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.
