In the future, the demand for high-end welded steel pipes represented by oil and gas pipes is huge.

The steel pipe market in 2014-215 was not satisfactory. First of all, the steel pipe products have low levels, low profits, and lack of competitiveness. Then, in the past few years, large manufacturers continued to expand in size, resulting in insufficient funds. Finally, overcapacity and severe imbalances in demand have caused the industry to collapse.
In such a bad environment, excessive production, and reduced investment, how will steel pipe manufacturers and merchants respond?

The industry believes that in addition to opening up overseas markets, it should also move toward higher steel pipes, because the current domestic production capacity is far from meeting the demand, and the demand for high-end welded steel pipes represented by oil and gas pipes is huge in the next few years. The specific basis is three: 1. Oil and gas pipelines. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the total length of domestic oil and gas pipelines will reach 200,000 kilometers, that is, the annual new oil and gas pipeline production line will be more than 15,000 kilometers, and the corresponding oil and gas pipeline demand will be 10 million tons. Second, the power grid, the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the national grid UHV transmission lines will reach more than 11,000 kilometers, corresponding to high-end welded steel pipe demand of about 6-8 million tons. Third, offshore wind power pile driving pipe, during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", offshore wind power by the end of 2015, to achieve the national offshore wind power production of 5GW, the goal of 5GW under construction; corresponding high-end welded steel pipe demand more than 2 million tons.
