Solutions for Oil & Gas
Main drivers
- Oil prices and production shortage, drives upstream investment in harsh environment, recovery on existing, unconventional resources, more projects, larger, more complex.
- Environment constraints increase power: higher short circuit levels and rated voltage requirements.
- Safety, Security, Reliability and environmental impact remains a key concern.
- Gas Growing demand increases number of LNG applications.
- Increasing demand for local content: National Companies higher & mix role with GOC.
- More intelligent field devices to drive control, speed and maintenance monitoring.
- Global resource shortage: material, equipment and manpower costs increasing (tight competition for resources and skills).
- Impact of health & safety and environment regulations (CO2 capture) drives demand for more maintenance and services, and investments to reduce the sulfur of the gasoline (Refineries).
- Safety requirement getting down to all equipments.
