Our operations benefit from our broad, strategically positioned geographic footprint, which supports our ability to supply seamless and welded OCTG to the most active major oil and gas basins in the United States and Canada. We own and operate 11 production facilities in the United States and Canada that produce a wide range of OCTG in various sizes and grades and together offer approximately 1.5 million tons of annual steel pipe production capacity, approximately 1.5 million tons of annual threading capacity and 674,000 tons of annual heat treating capacity. We have finishing facilities in close proximity to our end-users’ E&P operations, which allows us to provide our customers with customized technical solutions and to synchronize our production and logistics with evolving demands. We also import seamless OCTG and line pipe in sizes that we do not produce domestically from the TMK Group. The following map provides an overview of our production facilities and broad footprint covering the most active oil and natural gas producing basins in the United States and Canada.

"In a way, you’re right. In a way." He made the salad in specific stages, sliding the roasting pan back and forth, toasting pine nuts, grating the cheese in long even gestures, mixing the oil and vinegar like a chemist, and then washing the greens, shaking the water off lightly, frowning, half thoughtful, half moronic. "But theoretically…"

Start by looking at pictures of yourself, both those you find flattering and—this is important—ones you don’t. Do a full-body scan and identify what went right or wrong. Did you love your facial expression? What were you doing with that right arm? Sturino went through a similar exercise when she started her blog three years ago, and then she began experimenting. “The pros are always doing tiny angles and shifts on their body to find their best look in their pose,” Sturino says. Now she knows exactly what works for her: popping her right hip forward, with her left knee out and her left shoulder up, lifting from her core and turning her face slightly away from the camera with her chin pointed down. That kind of posing specificity is definitely #goals.

To be fair, some plumbing companies prefer CPVC. Ferran Services & Contracting uses it on a regular basis.

Do you know these five martial arts styles? Martial arts are a great way to learn self-defense and discipline, but also provide an unparalleled health benefit. Some martial arts are solely for combat, but most […]

A trip to Croatia years ago led to a profound, life-changing epiphany for Jeff Blackard, CEO of McKinney-based Blackard Global. By that point in his life, he had developed thousands …

“As applications become more competitive, it’s important to think about what makes you special. What will make you stand out in a positive way? Some applicants will highlight their connection to medical cannabis and how it has impacted their own lives or their loved ones. Others highlight their intentions for giving back to the community. One applicant, for example, talked about opening a charter school in a disadvantaged neighborhood in Chicago. Use your application to capture unique aspects that can help you get noticed.”

Now, I can hear people out there screaming, “What about tendinopathies?” Yeah, what about them? They’re overuse injuries from too much fatigue being applied to a person who cannot tolerate them at that point, which is multi-factorial. It’s not a form issue most of the time.

"It is a good product, its one of the most durable, as long as it’s installed properly," Jesse Crawford of Ferran said. 

“We’re fortunate to have everything in-house. We have our own government affairs, finance, accounting, communications, marketing, creative and purchasing [teams]. We don’t outsource anything.

Once your feet are squared away, buckle up, because now it’s time to deal with your hands. Hands are the hardest, IMHO, because they quickly convey the nervousness at…well, hand. A selfie is an easy out because you literally have to hold the phone, therefore utilizing at least one hand. Props, like a cup of coffee or a handbag, also relieve you of hand-awkwardness. A peace sign is a tried-and-true option, although it feels a little stale to me. I love a good Rocky-esque thrown-up V, but very few situations warrant it. If you find yourself in front of the Sydney Opera House or on a yacht in Cannes, by all means, go for it.
