Investment Plans for LNG Exceed $1 Trillion

Many areas of the world are without adequate natural gas supplies.  They can import coal but prefer gas because of its environmental advantages.  Renewables do not offer quantities of energy at reasonable cost in the near term.  Liquefied natural gas (LNG) can supply the growing energy needs of the developing world.  These needs have resulted in plans for LNG gasification, transport and regasification investments exceeding $1 trillion.  This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company in N049 Oil, Gas, Shale and Refining Markets and Projects.

Over the next five years, owners will invest in new facilities generating 120 million tons per year of LNG.  Investment costs will vary greatly from site to site depending on location and process.  Construction at regasification sites (brownfields) could be as low as $500/ton of annual capacity.  Floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) could exceed $1800/ton.

At an average of $1200/ton, annual purchases will be $29 billion and the five year totals will be $144 billon. Equipment will represent 30 percent of the total or $6.6 billion per year.  Nearly 800 MTPA (million tons of LNG per annum) of capacity is in the proposal stage representing investment of nearly $1 trillion.

Demand is expected to grow on an average of more than 5 percent through 2030. 

U.S. projects at existing regasification plants have a competitive edge compared to other proposed projects globally. More than 50 liquefaction projects have been announced.  Proposed capacity in the U.S. stood at 269.6 MTPA as of the first quarter of 2015, mostly located in the Gulf of Mexico. Proposed capacity in Canada reached 345 MTPA, including nearly 160 MTPA proposed in 2014 alone.

There are non-economic factors affecting decisions. They include security of supply and political considerations that will impact the investments in many regions. China is a notable example.

In November 2015, China approved a $20 billion pipeline for transporting gasified coal from northern and western China to cities throughout the country.  It is designed to handle 30 BCM (billion cubic meters per year).  The use of gasified coal will reduce demand for LNG in China.  The longer term plan is for as much as 200 BCM.  If China is able to gasify coal reliably and economically, there would be a big negative impact on the world LNG market. 

McIlvaine will continually evaluate the potential impact of the Chinese coal gasification program and other potential impacts on the market.  McIlvaine will also adjust forecasts for filters, pumps, valves, treatment chemicals and other products based on the LNG forecasts. This analysis is then used to analyze the potential of projects reported daily in the program. Here is an example:

•        Petronas Selects Axens Technologies for Malaysia’s RAPID Project

•        Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), has selected Axens as a technology provider for PETRONAS’ Refinery and Petrochemicals Integrated Development (RAPID) project located in Pengerang, Johor, Malaysia. RAPID is part of PETRONAS’ Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) development, which includes six major associated facilities namely the Pengerang Co-generation Plant, Re-gasification Terminal 2, Air Separation Unit, Raw Water Supply Project, Liquid Bulk Terminal as well as central and shared utilities and RAPID is estimated to cost US$16 billion while the associated facilities will involve an investment of about US$11 billion. PIC is poised for its refinery start-up by early 2019.

•        Regasification terminal will generate a cryogenic pump opportunity of $1 million and butterfly valve opportunity of $0.5 million.  Total flow control and treatment opportunities for the project are over $200 million.

$100 Billion Annual Gas Turbine Market

Worldwide installations of new gas turbines will average 74,000 MW per year over the next five years. The system sales revenue will be $75 billion per year. GE, Siemens and the other turbine vendors will generate revenues of $20 billion/yr. just for the turbine equipment. This is the latest projection in 59EI Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program published by the McIlvaine Company.

The worldwide installed gas turbine capacity is 1.5 million MW. Purchases of repair parts consumables and upgrades at existing power plants will average $30 billion/yr. Part of this investment will be a result of greenhouse gas initiatives. The least expensive way to reduce the carbon footprint is to make the existing gas turbine more efficient. Adding the steam cycle makes the biggest difference but there are other options as well. Inlet filter replacement for existing units will be more than $500 million. Another $460 million will be spent for SCR systems and catalyst per year. The market for replacement parts for pumps and valves will be significant.

The gas turbine equipment suppliers purchase most of the components they furnish as part of turbine packages. Complete turnkey systems, including the gas turbine, steam turbine, cooling towers, HRSG, SCR, etc. are sold by a number of companies who do not manufacture turbines. Despite the fact that the purchaser could be an end user, a system supplier or an EPC, the number of companies purchasing filters, treatment chemicals, instrumentation, pumps and valves is very limited.

Those suppliers selling hardware for new power plants need to contact the operators, the system suppliers and the engineering companies. Those selling consumables have a more limited target.

It terms of end users, there are less than 100 power plant operators who will buy most of the equipment and consumables. E.ON has 23,000 MW of gas turbines in operation while Calpine has 26,000 MW. Together they have over 3 percent of the world’s installed capacity. The number of system suppliers and engineering companies is also limited. Black & Veatch, Burns & McDonnell, Sargent & Lundy, Bechtel, Kiewit and a few other U.S. based architect engineers do a lion’s share of the engineering work.

The number of equipment vendors is even more limited. GE had a 49 percent of the global gas turbine market last year, followed by Siemens with 23 percent, Mitsubishi Hitachi with 17 percent and Alstom with 2 percent. With the purchase of Alstom, the GE share will rise above 50 percent. In addition, GE has made a huge investment in a new more efficient design which may boost their share well above 50 percent.

GE’s new flagship, HA Turbines, will be the largest and most efficient in their class. The first delivery was to EDF’s Bouchain combined cycle power plant in France in August and is now being installed. The first U.S. order is from Exelon. Four 7HA turbines intended for expansions at the Wolf Hollow and Colorado Bend plants in Texas are expected to come online in 2017.

The 50-hertz 9HA and 60-hertz 7HA both come in two different models. The 9HA.01 is rated at 397 MW in simple cycle mode and 592 MW in 1 x 1 combined cycle mode, while the 9HA.02 is rated at 510 MW in simple cycle and 755 MW in combined cycle. The 7HA.01 and 7HA.02, meanwhile, are rated at 275 MW and 405 MW and 337 MW and 468 MW, respectively.

Both designs can achieve better than 41 percent efficiency in simple cycle and more than 61 percent in combined cycle. GE says the 9HA.01—the model slated for Bouchain—can reach full power in 30 minutes and ramp at 60 MW per minute.

GE already has $1 billion in firm orders for 7HA and 9HA turbines—16 units so far—and 53 potential projects around the world have opted for the turbines. GE hopes to sell up to 500 of the new design by 2030, which could represent up to half of its gas turbine sales.

For hardware purchased directly by gas turbine suppliers, one company represents more than 50 percent of the potential and three companies combine for 90 percent. 

Most suppliers have a direct sales force for large customers and a network of sales representatives or distributors for the balance of sales. Since 70 percent of the sales will be to less than 100 large operators, equipment suppliers and engineering companies, it is important to focus on the direct sales effort. McIlvaine has developed a Detailed Forecasts of Markets, Prospects and Projects which is included along with 59EI Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Supplier Program.
