Unconventional Oil and Gas Will Cause Valve Sales to Be $3 Billion Higher In 
2015
The sale of industrial valves in 2015 will increase to $69 billion worldwide. 
Much of the growth will be attributable to unconventional oil and gas.
Category $ Billions % Difference Explanation
Valve sales 2014 w/o inflation 57 Based on 2010 dollars
Valve sales 2014 actual revenues 63 10.5 2014 actual revenues reflecting year 
over year inflation
Valve sales 2015 with inflation and conventional oil and gas assuming no 
unconventional 66 4.7 Increase over 2014 assuming the same amount of oil and gas 
was extracted but by conventional methods. Real growth would have only been 0.7% 
and inflation 4%
Valve sales in 2015 with the original share for unconventional oil and gas 67 7 
Reflects 3% real growth and 4% inflation
Valve sales 2015 with inflation and non conventional oil and gas (new 
projection) 69 9.5 Increase over 2014 with 5.5% real growth and 4% inflation 
McIlvaine displays hundreds of thousands of revenue forecasts in Industrial 
Valves: World Market. All of these figures are displayed in 2010 dollars so that 
viewers can determine the real industry growth without regard to inflation. The 
2014 forecast is for valve revenues of $57 billion. When this is adjusted for 
inflation, sales will be $63 billion in actual dollars. Until recently, 
McIlvaine had forecast 2015 sales of $67 billion of which $1 billion was due to 
unconventional oil and gas. However, the forecast is being revised to reflect a 
9.5 percent increase and valve sales of $69 billion. This is due to the 
extensive investment in unconventional oil and gas. Therefore, unconventional 
oil and gas will generate revenues of $3 billion in 2015.
One of the main drivers in the revision of the numbers is the huge coal-to-gas 
and chemicals program underway in China. This program is already generating 
larger process equipment plant investments than the shale gas activities in the 
U.S. By 2025, with 40 projects in the planning stage, the Chinese coal-to-gas 
production could reach a level of 40 percent of the entire present U.S. 
consumption. The goal is to transport this gas by pipeline from the West and 
North to the large cities in the East. This is one of the most important 
initiatives for reducing air pollution in the large cities. The clean burning 
gas will replace coal. Also the investment in U.S. petrochemical plants which 
will be using gas as a feedstock will be outstripped by the Chinese investment 
in coal to petrochemicals. Another massive program is coal-to-liquid fuels. High 
quality motor fuels can be produced from coal using both indirect and direct 
liquefaction. China is making massive investments in both technologies.
