With China's overseas oil and gas technology services and exploration and development business continues to expand, China's oil rig exports through the "borrowed boat" overseas development process. More than a month ago, China's oil equipment export enterprises to the Oman State drilling company exports the first heavy oil rig contract.
As we all know, the Gulf oil and petrochemical industry developed, is the "high threshold" market, not only requires high standards, high-quality products and professional after-sales service, while value of the price advantage of Chinese products. China's oil rigs can be "harsh" Oman customers accepted, indicating that China's oil rig exports while maintaining the price advantage at the same time, overseas marketing, product quality and after-sales service level has risen to a new level. This also marks the export of Chinese oil rig has been from the "boat to the sea" and gradually to the "ship to the sea," a new stage forward.

China Electromechanical Products Import and Export Chamber of Commerce Project Coordination Director Gao Li told reporters that the past two or three years, China's oil rig export trend is good, especially since last year, the number of exports and the amount of rapid growth. According to statistics, in the first half of 2006, China's oil drilling equipment exports amounted to about 590 million US dollars.

China's oil rig manufacturing technology and quality level and the overall supporting capacity has been close to the international advanced level, domestic oil rig than the international market, the same type of oil rig prices lower about 1/3, China's oil rig by virtue of a higher cost in the international market With a considerable competitive edge. At present, China's oil rig manufacturing capacity to achieve an annual output of about 250 sets, most of which products used to meet the domestic market demand, 1/3 of the products exported to the international market. In the past, the project under the oil rig exports in the international market has achieved good results, has been recognized by the international market. Now, with the international crude oil prices continue to run high, oil mining into the peak, countries have increased investment in the oil industry, contributed to the rapid growth of China's oil rig exports, while trade under the number of oil rig exports began to increase The

High force pointed out that the oil rig is a group of very complex large complete sets of equipment, for its direct and indirect supporting the need for more than 100 suppliers. And further expand the market share of China's oil rig exports is a systematic project, not only related to the oil rig's own design, the overall support, on-site installation and testing commissioning, oil drilling rig overseas marketing, after-sales service, personnel training and zero Parts of the supply of supporting services to enhance the ability are indispensable.

In an interview with reporters, the oil equipment export enterprises that the Chinese oil rig in the Oman market breakthrough is the current Chinese oil rig manufacturing capacity and the overall level of support and the overall strength of the enterprise determined. He also pleased to tell reporters that access to Oman's first oil rig procurement contract is significant. Oman National Drilling Company is a newly established drilling company, which is the company's first heavy drilling rig, the acquisition of the contract means that China's oil rig in the company's future procurement advantage; the other hand, the contract also For the Chinese oil equipment, especially large sets of oil equipment into other Gulf countries market has laid a good foundation.

Industry experts pointed out that China's oil rig and the international advanced level there are still more or less gap, has not yet established in the international market to participate in the competition of advanced technology, quality, reliability, high competitiveness and strong brand-name rig. Therefore, China's oil drilling rig industry to target the international market demand in the product quality, reliability, new technology applications and so on, in the global oil rig manufacturing center to China in the process of transfer to build China's oil rig manufacturing power.

There are also insiders worried that in recent years, soaring oil prices pulled the global oil rig market demand, the domestic oil rig manufacturers have to expand production capacity, taking into account the future market demand is no longer strong when the production capacity. But also in the oil rig exports increased rapidly at the same time, enterprises can also take into account the quality control, after-sales service, personnel training, and other one-stop rig supporting services to ensure the normal operation of the rig.
