"Twelfth Five-Year Plan" Promotes Localization of Energy Equipment Supporting Policy to Become More and More Clear

After decades of efforts, the design technology level of China's energy equipment has made great progress during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period. It has successfully developed 12,000 meters of oil drilling rigs, 10 million tons of oil refining complete sets of equipment, and one million tons of ethylene complete sets of key equipment. Million-ton-class PTA complete sets of key equipment, large-scale petrochemical general equipment.
With the official opening of the "12th Five-Year Plan", China has established new development goals for the energy equipment industry. The National Energy Work Conference held last week proposed that efforts will be made to cultivate the energy equipment manufacturing industry into an important strategic emerging industry in China. Zhao Zhiming, executive vice chairman of the China Petroleum and Petrochemical Equipment Industry Association, said in an interview with reporters yesterday that the direction of energy equipment during the 12th Five-Year Plan period was to develop from land to deep water, from non-intelligent to intelligent development, and localization still Is a main line.
From deep land to deep water: the foreground of offshore equipment is highlighted Deep water is the replacement area for oil and gas in the world. Potential deep-water oil reserves in the world are as high as 100 billion barrels. The vast ocean contains more than 70% of the world's oil and gas resources. Marine engineering equipment is the foundation for deep sea oil production. As China’s land oil is becoming scarce and its dependence on oil imports continues to rise, the country’s future will inevitably increase the exploration and exploitation of offshore oil and gas fields. This is undoubtedly a feast for China’s marine equipment manufacturing industry.
However, in the early period of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China only had the ability to explore, develop, and produce oil and gas within a depth of 300 meters, which was only the second and third generation level in the world.
In November last year, China’s most advanced sixth-generation 3000m deep-water semi-submersible drilling platform, the “Offshore Oil 981” project, independently designed and built in China, was completed and the main machinery was completed. It is expected that this year will implement the oil and gas exploration mission in the South China Sea. The end of China’s offshore oil and gas exploration operations is limited to the history of offshore waters.
In addition, the 320,000-ton supertanker built by Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. and the 147,000-cubic-meter LNG ship built by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. are also known as the masterpieces for localization of marine oil and gas equipment in the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period. .
“At present, the country has identified marine equipment as one of the strategic emerging industries that will be built during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, and it is expected to receive a greater degree of national policy support in the future, including taxation and finance. Also belongs to the equipment manufacturing industry, so you can also enjoy the country's preferential policies for the equipment manufacturing industry." Zhao Zhiming told reporters.
Fu Chengyu, general manager of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, also said recently that during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, CNOOC is expected to invest 800 billion - 1 trillion yuan, most of which will be invested at sea."
In the marine equipment manufacturing industry, Xu Minle, an analyst at Bank of China International, believes that Yantai Raffles, a subsidiary of CIMC, is a major manufacturer of drilling and mining platforms in China, and ZPMC is completing the world’s leading marine engineering designer F&G. After the acquisition, the company's offshore engineering design capabilities will be greatly enhanced and the offshore engineering business will become a new growth point for the company's profits.
Intelligentization: The cornerstone of high-end energy equipment and the advance of deepwater hydration are the intelligentization of energy equipment. In the “Decision on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries” previously issued by the State Council, high-end equipment manufacturing is listed as one of the strategic emerging industries, and ocean engineering equipment and intelligent equipment are two major segments of high-end equipment manufacturing. It is also written to the file.
During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, 31 million-ton-ton refineries and 30 million-ton ethylene plants will be built across the country. Apart from using some of the past special equipment and petrochemical equipment, it is important to realize "Intelligence." Zhao Zhiming said that developed countries have already realized the intelligence of refinery equipment, and China has only started in this area.
According to him, the so-called intelligence is to realize the intelligent control of the equipment. For example, the parameters such as pressure and temperature of any equipment in a few hundred equipments of a refinery can be quickly transferred to the automatic control system through sensors. Not only the results are displayed, but they are automatically adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of improving efficiency and reducing costs.
In addition, Zhao Zhiming revealed that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the domestic production of “continuous pipe drilling” will be implemented in the field of drilling equipment, which also involves smart devices. "Currently, the manufacture of such continuous pipes is no problem. The key is that intelligent components must be added to the pipes. Not only can they be controlled remotely, but they can be automatically guided and drilled where there is oil."
In the future, the importance of smart equipment will also be reflected in the rapid development of other high-end manufacturing companies. It will provide high-tech production of intelligent control systems, automated production lines, and robotics for high-precision areas such as aviation equipment, satellites, rail transportation equipment, and offshore engineering. Control equipment to promote the development of the entire high-end equipment manufacturing industry.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the sales value of smart manufacturing equipment industry in 2009 reached more than 300 billion yuan. According to preliminary assumptions, the development goal of smart manufacturing equipment is that by 2015, sales revenue will reach 1 trillion yuan, and the domestic market share of high-end smart equipment and basic manufacturing equipment required by key national economy industries will reach 50%.
Localization: The Ultimate Target for Energy Equipment Upgrades Regardless of whether deep-water or intelligent, a general requirement for energy equipment during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period is to increase the proportion of localization.
According to the data from the China National Chemical Equipment Association, as of now, the localization rate of China's oil refining equipment has reached more than 95%, and the localization rate of chemical equipment has also reached more than 80%. A large number of key and core equipment have escaped the passive situation of relying on imports, and are independent development for China. Modern petrochemical industry provides technical equipment support.
The recent National Energy Work Conference put forward that relying on major national projects, promote the autonomy of major energy equipment, further improve the policy support system, implement the first localization policy for major energy technology equipment, and increase the funding support for equipment autonomy. Enhance the planning and guidance of the energy equipment industry.
“At present in the deepwater sector, the gap between China and foreign countries is still very large, and there are few domestic deep-water equipment. It can be said that the deep-water sector is still the world of overseas equipment giants. These overseas giants are now eyeing the Chinese market, such as March 22nd. The Association will hold the "11th China International Petroleum and Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition" in Beijing. There will be delegations of 12 countries including the United States, Britain, France, and Germany to bring first-class offshore oil exploration technologies and equipment. It is to seize the Chinese market." Zhao Zhiming said.
He also said that during the conference, the “International Petroleum and Petrochemical Equipment Industry Development Forum” will be held. The topics related to deep water and smart devices are also the core topics discussed by the forum parties.
To this end, he suggested that the state should provide greater support for the localization of energy equipment from the policy point of view. “We have put forward plans for the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan for High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industry”. It is expected that this plan will be implemented this year. When it is announced, relevant support policies will also become clearer, Zhao Zhiming said.
An expert from the China National Chemical Equipment Association stated that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, based on the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” research and development efforts, the focus of localization of energy and chemical equipment should be on research and development and application of large-area areas. High-end, to promote the transformation and upgrading of the petrochemical industry, supporting the development of strategic emerging industries as the theme.
According to statistics, as of last year, the total industrial output value of China's chemical equipment manufacturing industry was about 500 billion yuan. General equipment is about 200 billion yuan, petrochemical equipment is about 180 billion yuan, oil drilling and transportation equipment is about 80 to 90 billion yuan, and automatic instrumentation control equipment is about 30 to 40 billion yuan.
