Large Combust, Flow and Treat 
Purchases by Offshore Oil and Gas Operators Will Accelerate Starting in 2019
The offshore oil and gas industry even at its low point this year will invest 
over $150 billion.  While total 
investment has been falling the investment in IIoT and Remote O&M has been 
increasing.  With total investment 
moderately increasing through 2022 coupled with accelerated IIoT investment, 
this market will be significant for combust, flow and treat suppliers. 
One reason it will be very important is that cutting edge IIoT and remote 
monitoring technologies are needed due to the remote surface locations of rigs 
and the difficult challenges of subsea operation.

Rystad Energy believes global offshore investments will bottom out at $155 
billion in 2018, and then investments grow steadily year by year going forward. 
This growth comes from high offshore activity, driven mainly by an increasing 
oil price and companies' ability to cut costs to improve the profitability of 
their projects. These two factors are resulting in companies actually deciding 
to go through with more investments, compared to the last three years. Several 
large projects demanding significant investments in the upcoming years, with Mad 
Dog Phase 2, ACG, and Bonga Southwest as the most important. Another factor 
explaining the investment growth is the increased share of ultra-deep-water 
projects, defined as assets in waters deeper than 1,500 m.

At a country level, the picture is mixed. Both in the years before and after the 
downturn, the five most important countries, in terms of offshore investments, 
were the US, Norway, Brazil, Australia and the UK. These countries' offshore 
investments summed up to $155 billion in peak year 2014, nearly half of the 
global total. However, Rystad sees slightly different developments after the 
price collapse and going forward. Norway and Brazil follow the global trend, 
with investments dropping roughly 50% before recovering to about 70% of 2014 
peak investments. The US and UK investments were hit a bit harder, down roughly 
65%, and only managed to recover to 60% (US) and 42% (UK) of 2014 levels.
The market for guide, control and measure will grow faster than the total 
offshore capital expenses.

Choke Valves in Offshore Oil and Gas
The choke valve market ranges between $250 million and $400 million per year 
depending on the definition and where we are in the oil and gas cycle. A 
significant portion of choke valve sales are to oil and gas companies. The 
definition also has a major effect on the revenue determination. The terms 
choke, control and axial are used in different ways.  With some 
definitions, the market is much larger than with others.  Here are some ways the 
term is defined:
With remote monitoring and IIoT evaluation of choke valve performance it is 
important that the relevant decisive classification of applications, valve 
types, and materials be clarified.  This is an ongoing project.  To

Subsea platforms for oil and gas extraction provide a lot of advantages compared 
to floating fabrication - first and foremost in terms of cost savings and 
reduced environmental impact. The high-pressure pump is the heart of the Subsea 
Hydraulic Power Unit, required to work non-stop 24/7 with outstanding 
reliability. 
Danfoss offers chemical liquid pump solutions designed according to the API 674 
and 675 standards and optimized for subsea applications, operating smoothly at 
depths up to 3,000 meters. The pumps for subsea applications are delivered in 
Super Duplex. The compact and lightweight pump unit guarantees constant 
operation for six years without service and maintenance. The only lubricant 
needed is the pumped fluid that keeps the pump running subsea, cycle after 
cycle. 
Subsea applications are characterized by limited space and an extremely harsh 
environment. In the Danfoss product portfolio you will find chemical liquid 
pumps fulfilling all requirements to subsea systems. The axial piston technology 
delivers powerful performance and reduces the pump size and weight to a minimum. 
The use of high-grade stainless steel and carbon-reinforced PEEK from surface to 
core of the pump ensures complete corrosion resistance when submerged.

Impact of IIoW Empowered IIoT on the Combust, Flow and Treat Market
There is a sea change in the obtainable combust, flow and treat market. 
Those companies leveraging the Industrial Internet of Wisdom (IIoW) to 
empower the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will generate both higher 
revenues due to higher margins per unit sale but also increased market share. 
An example would be condition monitoring at the dozens of BASF plants 
around the world.  The process 
management system is built around use of Samson valves and E+H instrumentation. 
At the very least Samson and E&H have expanded their market share at all the 
BASF plants around the world.  to 
the extent that the sales include edge computer software built upon product and 
process knowledge the unit sales are also increased.
Markets can be divided into four categories including the three traditional ones 
and a new one created by the sea change in the business environment.   
·       
TAM or Total Available Market is the total market demand for a product or 
service.
·       
SAM or Serviceable Available Market is the segment of the TAM targeted by your 
products and services which is within your geographical or asset reach.
·       
SOM or Serviceable Obtainable Market is the portion of SAM that you can capture.
·       
WOM or Wisdom-based obtainable market is the bigger opportunity created by a sea 
change in the route to market.

Two pump companies will be substantially impacted by the sea change. 
One embraces it and one does not.

In this example two pump companies had equal sales before the sea change. After 
the sea change one company loses half its market while the other one doubles 
revenues. The unit revenues for Company A are up 50% ($$ to SSS).  This is 
because the customers will buy from the company with WOM capability. Due to WOM 
edge computer and controls additions the revenues per unit of sales add another 
$ to the total.
The impact of IIoW will be more important than that of IIoT. 
Steps to leverage IIoW can be taken immediately independent of eventual 
edge computing process development.  
In fact the edge computing process management product will be based on IIoW 
initiatives.  These initiatives 
include greater knowledge of how products present and future can improve 
specific processes for specific customers. 
This wisdom in turn is based on interconnection of people and knowledge.
