New&Exclusivefor 2016

l An investment feasibility study into how best you can position your company strategicallyalong the OCTG value chain

OCTG Heat Treatment, Threading, Coupling and Premium Connection Sectors: A Strategic Market Outlook to 2022

• Can the global OCTGmarkets absorb anyfurther threading and heattreatment capacity, and ifso – where?

• Has there been anysignificant build-up inindependent threadingand heat-treatmentcapacities since 2012?

• What are the commonstrategies for pipe producers regarding heattreatment and threadingand finishing operations inother regional markets?

– Building stand-alonethreading/heat treatmentfacilities in new regionalmarkets in order to increasepresence with “local” content

– Licencing other seamlesspipe mills to use connectionsin their regional marketwhere the licensing mill doesnot compete

NEW for 2016 – first time reviewof the conductor casing market

2015 and early 2016 have proved to be themost tumultuous period for the OCTGmarkets since MBR has been trackingthese markets. Demand plummeted rapidlyin leading markets like North America as oilprices collapsed from well over $100/barrelto $30/barrel in early 2016. Nonetheless,other OCTG markets in the world such asthe Middle East and Russia are seeingmuch greater stability. How do you bestposition yourself to benefit from theindustry when the upturn comes?

The result of these rapid changes to theOCTG industry mean that, more than ever,strategy directors, marketing executivesand investors need expert guidance in theoutlook for the OCTG industry and thedownstream finishing area of threading

and heat-treatment to shape your strategyfor progressing in these markets in thenext five to ten years.

To this end, we invite you to acquire thisinnovative study from Metal BulletinResearch. Building on our successful firstreport in 2012, we examine how theOCTG Heat Treatment, Threading,Coupling and Premium Connectionsectors have progressed in recent yearsand how we see these sectorsdeveloping. This remains the only studythat provides independent by-county,by-company and regional analysis ofOCTG market trends in such granulardetail for the heat – treatment,threading and coupling markets.

This comprehensive study published by Metal Bulletin Researchexamines the strategic growth opportunities for the OCTG industryand details current and future prospects for downstream investmentsout to 2022.

This independent study:

l Answers how OCTG producers can tackle the key issues ofpositioning their company strategically along the value chain and geographically

l Details available threading capacity by country and newdownstream production capacities being built by major country and company

l Discusses premium connections trends by region and individualmarkets including proportion of connections in use and forecasts

This study helps by providing the following:

lDetailed database offering by-country and by-companyOCTG production, threading, heat-treatment and couplingcapacities split by: a. type (seamless/welded)b. dimensions,c. number of lines,d. capacity utilisation rates,e. 2015 output by type split by API/Premium

lDetailed profiles of tubular mills and independentworkshops by-country including details of expansionplans geared to threading, heat-treatment and coupling facilities

lMBR has grouped global threading operations in thefollowing way for this study:a. Threading facilities owned by leading international pipe

producers (e.g. Tenaris, Vallourec, TMK etc.) which areeither integrated into a pipe mill itself or are stand-aloneheat treatment/threading facilities located in locationsaway from actual pipe mills

b. Large independent threading facilities that are not underdirect ownership of a pipe mill e.g. Hunting, SoconordSTS etc.

c. Machine shop – these are threading facilities that tendto be smaller in size and are licenced to repairpremium threads for major pipe mills and/or undertakethreading of green pipes but focusing only on smalltonnages of output

The study will provide historic/current and forecast pricing information onOCTG pipe in major global markets. It will also provide analysis on threadingand heat treatment costs and examine the outlook and price trends for value-added finishing across a range of industry-standard and premiumthreading and heat treatment markets.
