​

The OCTG Inventory Situation

​

When it comes to accurate accounting of OCTG inventory on the ground we don’t rely on algorithms and guesswork, we rely on hard work. Every quarter The OCTG Situation Report® assesses the health of the pipe sector by measuring demand for OCTG by way of our exclusive Inventory Yard Survey: the industry benchmark and only survey of its kind in the world.

 

Oil & gas leaders worldwide count on our quarterly surveys for a definitive read on inventory levels of “prime” upstream OCTG throughout the U.S. supply chain. This exercise involves a large group of professionals that actually count pipe at truck terminals, mills, processor and inspection yards across the lower 48 every quarter. Our exclusive inventory survey yields:
 

  • Tonnage of "prime" pipe in the lower 48 states

  • OCTG tonnage composition in Texas, Louisiana & Oklahoma

  • Inventory changes in truck terminal, mill/processor, inspection and premium threading yards

  • Ownership of pipe and Q/Q tonnage changes by oil/gas companies, supply companies and mills

  • Various quarterly supply/consumption ratios – including months of OCTG supply on the ground
