1, oil service enterprises come to a crossroads.
Any enterprise has a life cycle, but the bankruptcy and reorganization of Weatherford, the fourth largest oil service giant in the world, inevitably makes people feel embarrassed and wakes up the industry. From June 2065438 to June 2009, Weatherford formally submitted a bankruptcy reorganization plan to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the pressure of years of losses and high debts. At this point, Weatherford has temporarily withdrawn from the "oil service giant club". From the perspective of industry operation, oil service enterprises should pay for the extensive expansion in the past. In the future, the tight expenditure policy of oil and gas producers will really test the management and operation level of oil service enterprises.
2. National Pipe Network Corporation was formally established.
The State Pipe Network Corporation, which has attracted much attention, was established at the end of the year, which became the highlight of the oil and gas system reform in China. State Pipe Network Corporation will transfer and integrate four core assets, namely, three barrels oil trunk pipeline network, provincial pipeline network, LNG receiving station and gas storage, which are expected to be adjusted in place by the end of 2020 and will only serve as the main market services of third parties. This mechanism will promote domestic resource sharing, reduce repeated investment and homogenization competition, and more importantly, provide opportunities for private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises to participate in domestic oil and gas upstream and downstream business in the future.
3.Saudi Aramco is listed.
Saudi Aramco controls this giant with about 65,438+07% proven recoverable reserves and about 65,438+03% global oil production. 2065,438+09 ushered in the long-awaited listing, surpassing Microsoft, Apple and other companies to become the world's largest company by market value. In the short term, Saudi Aramco will continue this trend to ensure the return of investors and the possibility of overseas listing.
4. The "bloody battle" of China petrochemical industry has begun.
20 19 brutal competition in China petrochemical industry was staged as scheduled. In May, the largest refining and chemical integration project was built at one time in China, followed by the first phase of Zhejiang Petrochemical's 40 million tons/year refining and chemical integration project. By June 5438+065438+ 10, Hengyi Brunei PMB Petrochemical Project had been put into full operation after eight years' efforts. Nowadays, the continuous commissioning of the project has not only reshaped the brand-new pattern of state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and foreign enterprises in China petrochemical industry, but also added another fire to the petrochemical industry with serious overcapacity in domestic refining capacity.
The smoke in the Middle East has disturbed the nerves of the oil market.
On September 14, Saudi Aramco, the "world's largest oil processing facility" and the second largest oil field in Saudi Arabia, was attacked by drones, resulting in a drop in Saudi oil production by more than half. Less than a month later, an Iranian oil tanker was attacked by two missiles near the Saudi port city of Jeddah, which exploded and caught fire, resulting in a large amount of crude oil leakage.
6. The battle for retail sales of domestic refined oil terminals has become fierce.
In the first half of this year, PetroChina and Sinopec launched price wars for refined oil products in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Guangdong, Fujian, Anhui and other places, with the price reduction range of 1.0-2.2 yuan/liter. At this time, Zhejiang Petrochemical, Shandong dongming petrochemical and other oil refining giants have expressed their willingness to build gas stations and enter the refined oil retail market on a large scale, which is bound to trigger a new round of competition.
7. The state has led the petroleum congress for seven years.
Since the beginning of the year, under the leadership of the state, domestic oil companies such as PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC and Yanchang Petroleum have responded one after another and increased their investment in exploration and development offensive. China Petroleum has made 42 major achievements in petroleum exploration, and found and formed two trillion cubic atmospheric zones, namely, Ordos 1 100 million tons Qingcheng Oilfield, Sichuan shale gas and Bozi-Dabei in Tarim. China Petrochemical Company has made 35 major achievements in petroleum exploration, and implemented two 100-ton oil reserves and six 100-billion-ton natural gas reserves.
8. The upstream oil and gas market in China is fully open.
In June this year, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce lifted the restrictions on oil and gas exploration and development limited to joint ventures and cooperation. This means that the monopoly barrier of upstream oil and gas industry has been further broken, and foreign oil companies can independently invest in oil and gas field exploration and development in China.
9. American shale oil continues to impact the crude oil market.
In September, the export volume of crude oil and petroleum products in the United States exceeded the import volume, marking the first time that the United States has become a net exporter of oil since 1978. Moreover, according to EIA's forecast, the net export volume of crude oil and petroleum products in the United States will reach 570,000 barrels per day in 2020, becoming the annual net exporter of crude oil and fuel for the first time, or it will shake the world pattern.
10, China opens another natural gas artery.
On February 2, 65438, witnessed by the heads of state of China and Russia, after 20 years of negotiations and more than 4 years of construction, the longest natural gas pipeline in the world-the East China-Russia natural gas pipeline was completed and opened to traffic. This epic project has far-reaching strategic significance for China, where natural gas consumption is growing rapidly. The opening of this natural gas artery will consolidate China's four strategic oil and gas import channels in northwest, northeast, southwest and offshore, further improve China's diversified oil and gas import channels and enhance China's right to speak in the international market.
20 19 is coming to an end, which is a landmark year for the oil industry. The above is the most important 10 event in the oil industry in 20 19. Through a lot of investigation and statistics of intelligent data, we must grasp the forefront pulse and future trend of the oil and gas industry and make a summary of 19.
