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.

More wells drilled per rig per year. Higher-performance drilling rigs are capable of pad drilling operations, which allow operators to drill more horizontal wells per rig per year. These improved techniques and technologies have decreased the average number of days per well drilled, which, according to Coras Oilfield Research, has decreased from an average of 26.4 days per well in 2011 to an estimated average of 21.1 days per well in 2018. Increased drilling productivity allows operators to drill more wells faster.
