More OCTG per well due to increasing lateral lengths. Increased lateral lengths and greater drilling complexity are driving greater spending on technologically advanced drilling consumables, such as OCTG with premium and semi-premium connections.As a result, while the United States only accounted for 16% of worldwide oil production in 2017, the United States was the largest global OCTG market in 2017 according to the EIA. Furthermore, from 2012 through 2014, U.S. OCTG demand per rig relative to the rest of the world increased by 20%, according to Baker Hughes and Spears & Associates. As a result of these trends, OCTG consumption per rig per month has almost doubled since January 2013, as shown in Chart 6 below, and the Company projects total shipments for OCTG in the United States to grow year over year, as shown in Chart 7 below.

Distribution Agreement – Line Pipe dated April 15, 2011, between IPSCO and Consolidated Pipe & Supply Company, as amended.

Privacy and security, that’s what. As the war on drugs heated up, growers sought refuge indoors under lights. Traditional, later-maturing, tall and sparse narrow-leaflet sinsemilla varieties proved challenging to grow indoors, and shorter, faster-maturing hashish plants with dense flowers offered a seemingly perfect solution. Hashish x sinsemilla hybrids, paired with high-intensity lighting, became the unstoppable force that spread urban cannabis cultivation worldwide. This is where the modern “OG Kush” story begins.

It just so happens that I’m a master plumber. I’ve been one since age 29. I did all the plumbing on most of my jobs and thoroughly enjoyed it. Designing and installing plumbing drain and vent lines is like a giant 3-D puzzle to me. As crazy as it sounds, it’s fun.

Travelers familiar with cannabis plants growing in other regions soon realized that the Afghan varieties looked different: shorter plants with broad, dark green leaflets and stout branches supporting denser and leafier inflorescences covered with copious resin glands that sparkled in the intense sunlight. Most significantly, the aromas and flavors of Afghan hashish flowers were of an entirely different spectrum—more resinous, earthy, dank and skunky smelling when compared to the more herbal, spicy, flowery and fruity aromas 1970s sinsemilla marijuana smokers were learning to relish—and varieties from the Hindu Kush formed a class by themselves.

I’d never heard that. Do you know why spiral wrap sleeving is prohibited? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen cable lacing w/ string used, so I guess that’s OK. What about plastic tie wraps?
