If oil is the blood of industry and steel is the skeleton of industry, then it is obvious that oil and steel have a positive effect on the national economy. Petroleum, petrochemical, aviation, shipping, automobile and other fields are inseparable from oil and steel, so the interaction between oil and steel gradually emerges:
The development of petroleum and petrochemical industry needs the support of iron and steel industry. The main production processes of China oil and gas industry are: geological exploration, mining, transportation, oil refining, other chemical processing, power generation and direct utilization. The steel used in these production processes is mainly exploration and exploitation steel (oil well pipes, drilling machinery, offshore oil platforms, etc.). ), transportation steel (pipeline steel, pressure station steel, etc. ) and petrochemical steel products (pressure vessel plates, stainless steel plates, stainless steel pipes, etc. ). Oil well pipe (commonly known as vertical pipe in the industry, also known as special pipe for petroleum) and pipeline steel (commonly known as horizontal pipe in the industry) are the most widely used varieties in petroleum steel, which have the greatest impact on petroleum production.
First, rising oil prices put forward new requirements for steel products. As a big consumer of refined oil, the automobile industry is directly affected by oil prices. In recent years, the automobile industry in China has developed vigorously, and the forecast for the automobile industry at the beginning of last year was quite optimistic. However, from the later stage, most enterprises found it difficult to achieve the goals set at the beginning of the year, and the relevant departments also lowered the annual automobile growth forecast from 2.82 million at the beginning of the year to 2.39 million, a decrease of 430,000. The forecast of the annual growth rate of automobile output will be adjusted from 40% to 18%, down by 22 percentage points. One of the reasons for the weak purchasing power of Sichuan-Guangzhou is the high oil price, which increases the operating expenses of Sichuan-Guangzhou.
First of all, the rise in oil prices has also affected the nerves of the steel industry.
In 2003, the world oil price continued to rise. In nominal terms, London Brent crude oil averaged $28.8 per barrel for the whole year, the highest in 20 years. In 2004, the world crude oil price hit record highs.
The highest oil price not only affects the development of the world economy, but also goes against the overall development of China's economy. According to statistics, in 1999, the international oil price rose by 10.38%, and China's GDP dropped by 0.07 percentage points. In 2000, the international oil price rose by 64%, and China's GDP dropped by 0.7 percentage points. Therefore, every time the international oil price rises by 1% for one year, China's GDP will decrease by 0.05438+0 on average.
