LSAW steel pipe units in China

China's LSAW steel pipe mill is showing the characteristics of overcapacity and centralized layout.
As the research statistic shows, there are total 25 sets of domestic LSAW steel pipe UOE / JCOE units, with a total production of 5.43 million tons. At present, there are two characteristics of China's LSAW steel pipe UOE / JCOE unit:
1. overcapacity. China's oil and gas pipeline market mainly includes three parts: one is the Oil and Gas Pipeline oil system, the annual demand of about 3 million tons; the second one is the export market, the annual demand of about 2 million tons; the third one is city gas pipelines and around the city's liaison with the mainline branch, the annual demand of about 3 million tons. Annual demand on the oil and gas pipeline home and abroad totaled 8,000,000 tons. But the production of large diameter spiral submerged arc welded pipe line pipe capacity of approximately 6 million tons, plus UOE / JCOE straight seam submerged arc welded pipe mill capacity (5.43 million tons) to reach a total of more than 1100 tons, thus, overcapacity of 300 million tons.
2. too dense layout in the Yangtze River Delta region. There are three sets of UOE / JCOE unit in Shanghai, respectively, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., Shanghai Tianbao Pipe Company and Shanghai monthly tide Pipe Company; there are seven sets of JCOE unit in Jiangsu, namely Guangzhou Panyu Zhujiang Steel Pipe (Jiangyin), Bohai Petroleum Equipment Nanjing Julong steel Pipe Company, Wuxi, Jiangsu Yulong Steel Pipe company (three sets of units), Yangzhou Yalian steel pipe Company and Zhangjiagang sand Jinzhou pipeline Limited; there are ten sets of UOE / JCOE units in the Yangtze River Delta region, total capacity of 2.13 million tons,, which is accounting for 40% of the country SAWL unit analysis by the unit, and accounting for 39 percent of domestic energy according to production statistics.
