Global Energy Demand by Sector Global Energy Demand by Fuel

The combination of increased energy efficiency throughout OECD states and growing
economies in Asia is driving demand for power generation at the expense of transportation.
Natural gas is becoming an increasingly popular fuel for power generation offering a relatively
safe (compared to nuclear); cheap (compared to oil); and clean (compared to coal) energy
source.
Demand for natural gas to increase by 55% over the next 20 years...

Conclusions

Onshore Pipeline: Supply Chain Map

Operators: Pipeline operators within the


onshore pipeline industry consists of oil & gas
E&P companies (and the corresponding
consortiums) and pipeline specialists.

Pre-FEED & FEED: Involves the site appraisal


work of geophysical & feasibility study
specialists and the approval of regulators and
the local government.

EPC: This process is undertaken by the


engineering, construction and turnkey
contractors. Sometimes these contractors act
as a consortium

OEM: Component suppliers and


manufacturers supply to turnkey EPC
contractors and construction companies.
Onshore Pipeline: Material Selection Option

Material selection criteria are governed by temperature variation, process medium,


environmental parameters and operating criteria.

Most of the pipeline would require internal lining to insulate them from the corrosive process
medium.

Exotic materials such as duplex and super duplex stainless steel are also becoming more
common.

DW expect the gas-focus trend to sustain over the forecast period given the move
towards gas in the global energy supply mix.

The share of gas pipeline will generally stay above 60% of annual installation length

Gas pipelines will maintain their dominant position over liquid pipelines due to the
move towards gas in the global energy supply mix.

The shift towards larger diameter pipelines implies an increase in expenditure per
added km.

Asia is expected to have a sustained level of pipeline development over next 5 years.

The increasing dominance of gas pipelines is caused by the combination of a high


growth rate in Chinese gas pipeline construction and a slowdown in oil pipeline
construction in India.

We expect a shift towards larger diameter ranges, which will cause expenditure per
km to increase by 9% compared to the previous period.

Macro-Economic Environment
Onshore Pipeline Overview
Subsea Pipeline Overview
Conclusions
Subsea Hardware: Supply Chain Map
Operators: The customer group
for production hardware & SURF
related engineering, procurement
and construction (EPC) services.

Design Engineering: The


operator will normally contract a
specialist consultancy for advice
on field development strategies at
the FEED stage.

Primary Hardware Suppliers:


Subsea equipment manufacturers
are contracted directly by the
operator to provide critical process
modules.

Pipelines, SURF and


Components: Primary hardware
suppliers contract pipeline and
SURF manufacturers if they are
providing an integrated service to
the operator.

Global Subsea Pipeline Capex: By Component

The subsea pipelines industry is impacted by a small number of major projects which
are dependent upon various political and economic factors which make the sector
unstable. There will inevitably be delay or cancellation of some projects.

Pipelines: $46.3bn expected to be spent over 2015-2019.


Asian Subsea/Trunkline Capex: By Component

Pipelines: $10.3bn (2015-2019) 23% of total market. Decline in pipeline expenditure


seen post 2015, a result of project being on hold.

The pipeline market will grow again in 2018 and 2019 with the anticipated start of the
456km Gendalo- Gehem, the 400km Sepat pipelines, and a number of other projects.

Asian Subsea Capex Ctnd: By Depth

The subsea market expenditure in Asia is moving into deeper waters bulk still shallow.

Developments in water depths <250m set to see a decline in share of Capex from 79% to
54% between the past and the future five years.

Current backlogs and small amounts of wellhead installations will drive KM demand for
pipelines / flowlines from 2015 2017.

Expected market improvement beyond 2018 will drive additional platform installation and
gas activities increase in pipeline / flowline demand.

The potential start of installation on the long delayed East Natuna field will account
for most of offshore installation in Indonesia (2019). In total the two different East
Natuna pipelines will have a length of 1800km.

New gas fields in Indonesia to drive offshore pipeline installations beyond 2016.

2015 spike due to the Ichthys pipeline. The shallow water


section (164km) was installed last year while the
deepwater section (718km) will be installed this year.

Huge growth in 2019 is down to a couple of major subsea


developments which are expected to see development at
the end of the forecast.

Conclusions
Observations and Conclusions
Macro-economic Environment:
Long term fundamentals of the oil & gas industry remain highly robust.
Key industry risks include rising costs and manpower.
Onshore Pipeline Outlook :
Increasing gasification is shaping the long term demand profile for pipelines. With an
anticipated 35% increase in global energy demand over the next twenty years, natural gas
is expected to account for 26% of total energy consumption by 2030.
Rapid demand growth in Asia is also providing new markets for Russian oil & gas. With
traditional importers in the West expected to curb their energy demand requirements major
new projects such as Russia South Korea connector are in prospect.
Growing demand for larger diameter pipes will compete with the OCTG sector for steel
production capacity.
Geopolitics still remains a key threat to transnational projects.
Subsea Pipeline Outlook:
Subsea pipeline expenditure to dominate Asian, Australasian, Eastern European & FSU
and Middle Eastern markets.
Spend decline from a high this year (backlogs) before more limited activity is seen until
2019, echoing the rest of the market. This is driven by a few large offshore pipeline
projects, and several smaller tie-back pipelines.
