Oil and Gas Industry Valve Purchases to Exceed $9 Billion Next Year
Sales of valves to the oil and gas industry are expected to be $9.2 billion next
year according to the latest McIlvaine forecasts in Industrial Valves: World
Markets. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

The Middle East will generate the most revenue, but NAFTA is closing the gap.
Large numbers of valves are required in hydraulic fracturing. In the U.S.,
there is a very large investment in extraction of liquids from the so-called wet
shale in the west and gas from dry shale areas in Texas and Pennsylvania.
The market is also expanding due to the expenditures to liquefy natural gas. In
the U.S., terminals which were built to import and gasify LNG are now being
converted over to liquefy the U.S. shale gas and export it.
New regulations on fugitive emissions also impact the valve market. Systems to
capture gas now released during well completion incorporate a number of valves.
The reclamation and reuse of wastewater is also an expanding application for
valves.
Sub-sea applications challenge valve suppliers with requirements for high
pressure and performance. The corrosive nature of flow-back fluids in hydraulic
fracturing, present a challenge in materials selection.
The transport of gas liquids which are a byproduct of the shale gas extraction
provide still another valve application. There are also plans to invest
more than $20 billion in gas-to-liquid plants. These plants will take
advantage of the disparity between natural gas and oil prices. These plants will
each require thousands of valves.

$9 Billion Cross-flow Membrane Market Will Grow Faster Than the Economy Next
Year
The markets for cross-flow membranes and equipment will grow faster than the
economy and faster than total revenues for the multi product companies pursuing
this market. This is the conclusion reached in the latest forecast in
RO, UF, MF World Market, published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

In 2013, total revenues will increase by 6.9 percent and RO membrane sales will
increase by 7 percent, whereas RO equipment sales are forecast to increase by
over 9 percent. The equipment sales are more volatile. Growth is higher than
membrane sales in recovery periods and lower than membrane sales in the
downturns. 2013 is part of the upturn and, therefore, it is expected that
equipment growth will exceed the consumables or membrane revenue growth.

All the large cross-flow filtration companies are divisions of larger companies.
Total revenues for these companies are expected to increase in the range of 4-5
percent over the next two years. Therefore, the membrane groups will be higher
performing than the total corporations.
