Insights of the Week
Coal will continue to be used at only a slightly lower rate in the U.S. if the 
Clean Power plan is nullified. But new coal plants are unlikely due to a 60 year 
shale gas supply and no guarantee that Republicans will hold sway for the long 
term.
Thursday is the Valve IIoT webinar followed a week later by the IIoT in Oil and 
gas.  See the schedule at

Suez has acquired GE Water to pursue the 95 billion Euro industrial market which 
Suez believes is bigger than the municipal market it now serves. This 
acquisition will pave the way for Suez to become a major player in IIoT and 
Remote O&M. Suez opened a monitoring center in France 
which provides intelligent management solutions for sanitation as well as water 
facilities around the world.  In Chile Suez operates 40% of the municipal 
wastewater facilities.  Will Suez leverage IIoT to make a big move in the 
industrial arena?
Decision guides for high performance valves are now being compiled on a 
collaborative basis.  It is part of the Mcilvaine effort to empower IIoT 
with IIoW (Wisdom).  Valves for severe, critical, or unique service in oil 
and gas and power are being analyzed. 
High Performance Valves and IIoT
The digital rapidity of IIoT has to be duplicated in IIoW. One route is to 
record your sales power point presentations and make them accessible.

$168 Billion Oil and GAS IIoT and Remote O&M Market by 2030
The oil and gas market opportunity for IIoT & Remote O&M will rise to $168 
billion in 2030.  $110 billion will be onsite expenditures by the oil and 
gas companies but $58 billion will be for remote monitoring and support 
including Software as a Service (SaaS) and data analytics.  Data analytics 
in turn will include IIoW (Industrial Internet of Wisdom).  This in turn 
will foster Sourcing as Service activities.
NAFTA will be the largest segment with oil and gas IIoT & Remote O&M revenues 
rising from $13 billion in 2016 to $83 billion by 2030.
The NAFTA projections are based on the 2017 EIA reference forecast predictions 
for energy pricing and consumption. Key assumptions are:

Since July 2016, there has been a 20% increase in oil rig counts. Oil producers 
have also increased their exports to India. These trends are showing the 
rejuvenation of U.S. shale oil. The shale oil market is expected to gain 
momentum from mid-2017. 
Tight oil makes the biggest contribution to crude oil production with a 50% 
growth from 4 million bbl./day now to 6 million bbl./d by 2040.

 

 

The oil and gas industry is already ahead of other industries in the use of 
IIoT. 
More than half of the oil and gas companies are deploying IIoT-enabled 
technology for remote monitoring. Asset reliability and energy efficiency round 
out the top three non-product use cases (LNS Research).

Some of the biggest opportunities will be created by regulations restricting 
flaring in the U.S. 
Honeywell and Aereon will collaborate on solutions to help industrial customers 
boost the safety, efficiency and reliability of their operations by leveraging 
Honeywell's Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) ecosystem.
Aereon provides air emissions solutions for the complete oil and gas sector, 
from the wellhead to the gas station. It offers products for flare systems, 
enclosed combustion systems, high efficiency thermal oxidizers and vapor/gas 
recovery units. "Aereon's fundamental strength is its wide array of 
fit-for-purpose combustion and vapor recovery products supported by in-house 
expertise to design, manufacture and support its field-installed base," said 
Mark Zyskowski, Senior Global Vice President, Aereon. "We are pleased to be able 
to bring our expertise to the IIoT ecosystem that Honeywell is developing to 
help customers around the globe maximize value from their operations by tapping 
into the power of the IIoT."
There will be a high ROI from automating remote operations. Well drilling and 
completion is becoming increasingly complex while the reservoir of field 
expertise is not growing to keep pace. Automation and monitoring of remote 
operations leverages the expertise of the industry, decreases on site personnel 
time and improves safety.

$11.5 billion Opportunity for High Performance Valves in IIoT and Remote O&M 
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a powerful new force shaping the way 
valves will be purchased. The demand for valve automation and communication of 
valve health and performance will be driven by IIoT advances. With the rapid 
reduction in the cost of high quality sensors and the introduction of wireless 
technology smart valves will be communicating with remote operators on an 
accelerated basis.
Emerson, Flowserve, Pentair, GE and other valve companies are already pursuing 
this market and generating revenues of $7 billion.  This includes smart 
valve revenues plus valves sold through IIoT decision makers.  Some are 
third party operators. In other cases, they are corporate entities with many 
plants and centralized IIoT based valve selection. One important segment is 
repair part inventory and replacement.
The world industrial valve revenues will grow from $62 billion in 2017 to $88 
billion in 2025

The traditional market will grow at 3% per year. However, the new route to 
market through remote O&M will grow at 13%/yr. as will the additional revenues 
generated by smarter valves.

High performance valves comprise 55% of the total market today but with IIoT and 
remote O&M will represent 60% of the market in 2025. High performance valves 
include those in: 
·       
severe service
·       
critical service
·       
unique service
If general purpose valves are the foot soldiers of IIoT then high performance 
valves belong in the armoured division.  Their performance is much more 
critical to the outcome of the battle to improve plant performance.
Not only can valve companies boost Capex revenues for smart valves and Opex 
revenues for service and parts but they can acquire process data to help them 
design better valve products for specific applications. This proliferation of 
information about valve performance will serve as a giant resource of valve 
white papers.  Proof of lowest total cost of ownership will be automatic.
The valve companies who best leverage this process and valve performance 
knowledge will be the most profitable. Those focused on IIoT will achieve profit 
gains of 45% in the high-performance segment and 32% overall, while those who 
miss the boat will suffer profit decreases of 10%.

McIlvaine has coined the term Industrial Internet of Wisdom (IIoW).  The 
rate of progress can be viewed as 1 x IIoT + 2 x IIoW.  Transmitting all 
this data to better manage assets is only 1/3 of the opportunity. 2/3 of the 
opportunity is the improvement of assets and operations. Valve companies will be 
the source of Valve IIoW but only if they understand the new market paths.
IIoT promises to revolutionize industry but only if it is accompanied by IIoW 
(Industrial Internet of Wisdom). Decisive classification of high performance 
valve applications, designs, and materials is critical to IIoT success.   
Analysis of performance and comparison of results is important.  Mcilvaine 
has four services to support Valve IIOW.
