We are a leading, growth-oriented producer and supplier of seamless and welded oil country tubular goods, or OCTG, with a proprietary suite of premium and semi-premium connections. As a vertically integrated producer of seamless pipe and an efficient operator of our steel pipe production, heat treating and threading facilities, we are able to efficiently meet customer demand and exercise control over our cost structure. The primary end market for our products is onshore exploration and production, or E&P, operators in the United States and Canada, who purchase our products directly from us or through our distributors. Our E&P end-users operate in geographic locations with environments that require casing and tubing materials capable of meeting exacting standards for temperature, pressure, corrosion, torque resistance and abrasion. Through our comprehensive and technologically advanced portfolio of OCTG, we are able to serve as a single-source supplier for our E&P end-users and respond to a rapidly increasing per-well demand for OCTG. Our OCTG are available with the end-user’s choice of our 29 market-leading proprietary connections as well as multiple connections that meet or exceed American Petroleum Institute certified, or API, standards. We also produce line pipe for the transport of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids from producing fields to processing plants and refineries and for the transport of refined products, as well as standard, structural and industrial pipe for the agricultural, commercial construction and automotive industries.

“North Dakota Senate” – First-term Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) has now announced she will vote “no” on Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh. She was one of the last holdouts, and she is one of three Democrats who voted “yes” on President Trump’s first Supreme Court appointment Neil Gorsuch. Heitkamp is in a tough reelection fight. The latest RCP composite poll has Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) with a 51 percent to 42 percent lead over Senator Heitkamp. Realistically in a solid red-state she might have scored points by backing Kavanaugh, but being a maverick bucking the trend may cut both ways. In fairness – politics aside – she may just have cast a principled vote, letting the chips fall where they may.

We depend upon third-party trucking and other transportation providers for delivery of products to our customers. Strikes, slowdowns, transportation disruptions or other conditions in the transportation industry, including, but not limited to, shortages of truck drivers, disruptions in rail service, increases in fuel prices and adverse weather conditions, could increase our costs and disrupt our operations and our ability to service our customers on a timely basis. We cannot predict whether or to what extent any of these factors would affect our costs or otherwise harm our business.
