The Top 200 Purchasers Buy More Than 50 Percent Of The World’s Industrial Air
and Water Monitoring Equipment
The largest users of industrial air and water monitoring equipment are also the
industries which are most concentrated. A few oil and gas
companies produce most of the oil and gas. Large power companies produce
most of the electricity. A few
large electronics companies produce most of the semiconductors and flat panel
displays. In fact, Samsung is a leader in both products.
Due to the government ownership of wastewater plants in many countries and the
growth of third party operators such as Veolia and Suez, the water and
wastewater industry is also relatively concentrated in terms of decision makers.
Monitoring equipment suppliers sell directly to some large users and sell
through distributors to others. The percentage purchased by the large
users is rising and calls for more focus on this segment by the suppliers.
This is the conclusion reached by McIlvaine Company in
N031 Air and Water Monitoring: World
Market.
The 2015 industrial air and water monitoring
sales will exceed $10 billion. Municipal water plants will be the
largest purchasing sector followed by municipal wastewater and then power.
The McIlvaine Company has created a program for suppliers to maximize sales to
the largest purchasers. It combines
the air and water monitoring report with tracking of prospects and projects.

McDermott Wins RasGas EPCI Deal (T16)
McDermott International said it has been awarded a brownfield contract by LNG
producer RasGas offshore Qatar. Under the agreement, McDermott will provide
engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of a flow
assurance and looping project consisting of 74 miles of 6- and 8-inch pipeline
and topside modifications, offshore Qatar, according to a company’s statement
issued on Monday. Work is scheduled for completion by the end of the third
quarter of 2017. The two companies also have an engineering service agreement
under which McDermott has executed several concept studies and front end
engineering design (FEED) projects, according to the statement. Engineering,
procurement and fabrication is expected to be performed by McDermott’s teams
based in Dubai, U.A.E.
Shell to Expand Louisiana Alpha Olefins Complex (T16)
Shell Chemical has made a final investment decision (FID) to increase its alpha
olefins (AO) production at its chemical manufacturing site in Geismar,
Louisiana, the company announced on November 30. The expansion will make the
Geismar site the largest AO producer in the world. The project will include a
$717 million capital investment. Shell will construct a fourth AO unit, adding
425,000 tons of annual capacity. The chemical site is used in the production of
stronger and lighter polyethylene plastic for packaging and bottles, as well as
engine and industrial oils and drilling fluids. Construction of the new unit
will begin in the first quarter of 2016 and the unit is expected to begin
operations in 2018. The new capacity brings the total AO production at Shell’s
Geismar site to more than 1.3 MMtpy. The Geismar site, with a strong track
record of reliable and safe performance, also produces alcohols, ethoxylates,
ethylene oxide and ethylene glycols.
Saudi Aramco Has Ambitious Plans to Spend up to $150 Bln Through 2019
PetroRabigh, a JV between Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical, recently announced
the launch of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tenders for its
mega-expansion project. The EPC contracts are for a 220-Mtpy polyether polyols
plant, a 17-Mbpd naphtha treating unit and a 106-Mtpy sulfur recovery unit. The
EPC contracts are expected to be awarded in 1Q 2016. This project is one among
many that Saudi Arabia is developing to build up its refined fuels and
petrochemical offerings to the global market. The country will also witness over
$60 B in downstream petrochemical investment through the end of the decade.
Keystone XL and Alberta Oil Sands Go Under While Utah MCW Project Moves Ahead
The decision to kill Keystone XL was an economic one: with the major oil sands
projects that were to supply the pipeline going under, it no longer makes sense.
Now, some $60 billion of Canadian oil sands projects are in big trouble, unable
to withstand high production costs and low oil prices. Shell has moved to scrap
its 80,000-barrel/day Carmon Creek project. And earlier this year, three major
Canadian companies said they would halt new projects and expansions, and Total
and Statoil have also thrown in the towel. Breaking away from this trend, one
North American oil sands project is thriving, led by MCW Energy Group. The
project debuted in Utah with a breakthrough technology that offers not only low
production costs that can withstand price volatility, but also gives us the
previously impossible: a clean way to produce oil sands. Once washed with MCW's
patented solvent, the sand comes out 99.9 percent clean before it is returned to
the Earth. Major Canadian oil sands projects require $80 oil to break even.
MCW's clean oil sands extraction plant at Asphalt Ridge, Utah, is producing 250
barrels per day for only $27-$30 per barrel. This is low enough to turn a profit
even in today's market. And when the company finishes building its second
5,000/bpd plant, we're looking at costs closer to $20 per barrel. The plant is
right in the heart of Utah's Green River Formation at Asphalt Ridge, which alone
is believed to hold some 1 billion barrels of recoverable oil. Experts estimate
that production using this new technology in Utah is more profitable than any
other oil sands project in North America, and more profitable than today's shale
production.
ICA Fluor Awarded $1.1 Bln Miguel Hidalgo Refinery Upgrade Contract in Mexico
(08, T16)
ICA Fluor, the industrial construction joint venture of Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de
C.V. and Fluor Corporation, announced November 18 that they have signed a
contract with Pemex Transformacion Industrial to supply detail engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) services for the utilities and offsites that
are part of the Tula Refinery upgrade at Hidalgo, Mexico. The total contract
value is $1.1 billion. This contract results from the joint efforts of Pemex
Transformacion Industrial (formerly Pemex Refinacion) and ICA Fluor to continue
with the modernization process of the Tula Refinery.
