The 54th Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) was held at the NRG PARK International Exhibition Center in Houston, USA, from May 6 to May 9 local time. This event has received positive response from the industry, with over 1300 stands set up by enterprises and institutions from over 40 countries and regions, including 50 Chinese enterprises and well-known foreign enterprises such as Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, Saudi Aramco, etc. As a petroleum equipment enterprise that has been deeply involved in the petroleum industry for 30 years, Shenkai has attended the exhibition for 16 consecutive years. At this time, with multiple oil and gas solutions including “Deep-earth Engineering”, Shenkai has not only displayed the physical products of large-diameter fracturing valves, the latest automatic oil dispensers, flash point testers, etc., but also presented a new image of the its series of products from upstream oil exploration and development to downstream oil product processing, showcasing Shenkai’s cutting-edge technology and innovative manufacturing capabilities to the world. 

Exhibition Site

Customer Reception

The OTC began in 1969 and is hosted by the SPE-Society of Petroleum Engineers. It is an important professional exhibition in the fields of oil and gas exploration, extraction, production, and environmental protection, which focuses on showcasing new technologies, equipment, and trends in the oil and gas industry. The event brings together major global oil companies, numerous international excellent petroleum equipment suppliers, and global buyers. It is a well-known exhibition recognized by the exhibitors and industry insiders from all countries, and also the best platform for related products to enter the European and American markets. 

At this event, Shenkai’s team has set multiple historical records by working closely and collaboratively: the largest indoor stand (6x9); the most prime location (in the center of the venue, adjacent to Baker Hughes and Schlumberger). Zhang Enyu, President of Shenkai, led a team to attend the exhibition and had in-depth exchanges with industry counterparts from around the world. At the stand, there were crowds of people, and Shenkai’s stand has attracted the new and old clients from drilling companies and service companies from major global oil and gas production regions including the Middle East, the Americas, and Africa to come for consultation. Shenkai’s BOPs, pressure valves (fracturing valves), instruments, and logging products have received widespread attention from clients, with constant technical exchanges and business negotiations.

Client Visit

For the demand and development trend of oil and gas field operations in the international market, Shenkai can provide:

1. Solutions for Ultra High Pressure and High Temperature (Ultra Deep Well) Well Control Equipment

Diameter range: 7 1/16" -30"（179mm - 762mm）

Pressure range: max. pressure 25000psi（172.4MPa）

Temperature range: max. 350℉（177℃）

2. Fracturing and Intelligent Control Valve Solutions

Pressure rating: max. 20000psi

Material grade: AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, FF, HH

Product specification level: PSL1, PSL2, PSL3 (PSL3G), PSL4

3. Chromatographic Logging Solutions

For the identification of thinner oil and gas layers, with increasing drilling speed, the resolution of the formation can be improved by shortening the chromatographic analysis cycle. In order to reduce the pipeline delay time, the chromatograph is moved from the instrument room to the vicinity of the vibrating screen to achieve near wellbore explosion-proof analysis; online continuous analysis of light hydrocarbons can be provided for identifying the heavy oil reservoirs and reservoir water content. The instrument adopts a new modular structural design and high-precision electronic pressure control (EPC) technology. Fast online detection of C1~C5 for 30 seconds can be achieved, and the detection sensitivity of each component can reach 1 μ mol/mol(1ppm).

4. Solutions for Fuel Oil Testing 

Shenkai full-automatic sample dispenser is automatically configured with standard fuel and calibration fuel required for octane number and cetane number determination by using the principle of quality method sample preparation. The device is equipped with an imported high-precision dynamic electronic balance, with the software to automatically calculate and control the entire sample preparation process. It can also intelligently pump oil from the external oil tank to replenish the oil storage tank, and configure various reference fuels for users in a continuous, accurate, quick, and safe manner. 

In this OTC, Shenkai has further consolidated and enhanced its brand popularity and influence in the international market by increasing investment and making innovation in stand selection and design. In 2023, Shenkai has made significant achievements in the Middle East, South America, and African markets, continuously promoting its global development process. With the continuous cultivation of overseas markets, it is believed that Shenkai will definitely fully tap into its potential and continuously develop and grow in the future international market.
