Le “transizioni” nei mercati energetici e il ritorno agli

investimenti offrono nuove opportunità all’impiantistica

Gli investimenti nei settori oil&gas sono in lieve ripresa rispetto al punto più basso del 2016, con una crescita prevista
per il 2017 e per il 2018 di circa 5–6%/anno. Questo è dovuto a molti fattori, tra i quali la stabilizzazione e il successivo
aumento del prezzo del petrolio; il grande sforzo di tutta l’industria per ridurre drasticamente i propri costi, per
migliorare le supply chain e l’efficacia della realizzazione dei nuovi investimenti; ma anche al drastico cambiamento del
mix energetico, con maggior produzione di energia elettrica da fonti rinnovabili e un maggior uso del gas; e anche a
numerose “transizioni” che stanno rapidamente trasformando gli scenari mondiali dell’industria energetica.
Prevedere con precisione tutte queste evoluzioni e le loro conseguenze sull’impiantistica è attualmente difficile se non
impossibile, ma vediamo chiaramente che le transizioni energetiche aprono molte nuove opportunità, certamente diverse
da quelle storiche. I player di successo saranno coloro che riusciranno ad adattare i propri schemi produttivi per sfruttare
al meglio queste nuove opportunità.
