Hands down the best OCTG publication that is out there… The OCTG Situation Report has proven to be a great resource to gain insight into the US OCTG market, through its in-depth coverage of prices, supply & demand, and general market movements. It is highly regarded across the oil patch for a well-informed perspective on current market conditions.”

As a Wall Street analyst, covering the tubular market effectively is impossible without The OCTG Situation Report. This report is the only reliable source of transparency in an otherwise opaque upstream OCTG market, which is a $15bn annual market in upcycles. Invaluable datapoints and commentary that can't be found anywhere else are the hallmarks of this industry standard publication."

As advocates for pipestock property tax payers, The OCTG Situation Report is an invaluable resource that provides our firm with the national KPI’s, trends, and regional market pricing critical to minimizing our clients property tax burdens, thus improving our clients margins. For a year, we ran concurrent subscriptions with a competing provider and hands down felt The OCTG Situation Report was superior. Two renewals later, I’m still convinced we made the correct choice.”

Over the years the OCTG Situation Report has proven to be a consistently reliable and timely tool in understanding the OCTG market.  It is more than just the data, but the analysis and opinions of what the data might be saying that were helpful as an aid in the decision making process.  The quarterly inventory surveys provided confirmation of modeling used to track supply direction trends.  News, pricing, rig counts, shipments, trade, and analysis every month in one report — one of the best subscription values.”

"During low tides in the industry, upper management starts looking everywhere to cut costs – and unfortunately — subscriptions and market intel are often the first to go. And while I’m sure there are certain subscriptions that can be trimmed, for the OCTG market, I’d strongly state that the OCTG Situation Report is essential to maintain. In fact, it is during these ebbs in the industry that reports like these are perhaps more valuable than ever to ensure your company is getting the best prices."

The OCTG Situation Report is a concise and easy to read analysis tool that still delivers the details that we need to help manage our business.  It carries a lot of weight with us because it comes from people with inside knowledge of the Oil Patch, not “penthouse-suite analysts” that have never seen a piece of pipe.  We look forward to its arrival each month."
