New competitors in the seamless OCTG industry face high barriers to entry, including significant project lead times, substantial start-up capital expenditures, the required effort and expense to develop proprietary connections and skilled management. The completion of a new seamless mill capable of OCTG production can take up to three years before production can be brought to market. The initial creation of seamless OCTG capacity can cost approximately $3,000 per ton of capacity, implying a total investment of up to $900 million to generate the minimal capacity of 300,000 tons.
