Oil and Gas Field Machinery
Ukraine does not have local manufacturing of pumping
equipment capable of producing below 6,000 feet, even though
many of the fields on-shore are at depths of 10,000 to 15,000 feet.
Local production of drilling machinery is limited. Stimulation
technologies such as hydraulic fracturing and acid stimulation are
not available. On-shore and drilling equipment is antiquated and
has difficulty drilling below 15,000 feet. Ukraine has substantial
offshore natural gas and crude oil reserves, but does not have
technology to drill underwater deeper than 70-80 meters (200
feet).
Best sales prospects foreign companies include:
technologies for gas production and storage, for gas-transport
infrastructure, in particular pipeline construction equipment,
compressors and pumps for pipeline applications; gas transmission
systems; gas pipeline leak control systems; gas pipe fittings and
applications; welding machines, cranes, pipe-cleaning equipment,
and line trend machines; monitoring and control systems for gas
and oil pipelines; advanced and highly efficient oil and gas
exploration and drilling equipment and technologies, particularly
pontoons supported on columns, hoisting cranes, drilling rigs, bits,
electric motors, winch rollers, rotary tables, sheds, hoisting blocks,
monkey boards, crown blocks, gin holes, shackles, cutting, roller
and diamond bits, casing sleeves, chemicals, stimulation
technologies, modern 3-D seismic, drilling pumps (below 6,000
feet), drilling technology for offshore projects deeper than 200
feet; equipment for atmospheric-vacuum oil refining;
modernization and increasing of hydro-cracking and catalytic
cracking capacities; units for catalytic transformation of distillates;
industrial automation, control and monitoring systems for
refineries, gas processing and petrochemical plants; desulfurization
and quality control facilities; safety systems; fuel dispensers, fuel
storage tanks, fuel level monitoring and accounting systems.
