Agenda » | Registration Information » | Sponsors »

Last year’s one-of-a-kind forecasting event drew over 130 manufacturers, buyers, suppliers, end-users and analysts to hear the experts walk through the assumptions and core inputs necessary for OCTG and Line Pipe forecasting and budget building for the next 3 years.

Presentations included:

  • Outlook for oil & gas demand, supply, price & drilling from 3 industry experts
  • Outlook for oil & gas gathering & transmission activity
  • OCTG and Line Pipe technology outlook
  • Review of trade activity in the OCTG & Line Pipe sector
  • 3 year OCTG & Line Pipe forecast for the U.S. & Canada
  • 3 year outlook for steel raw materials

Building on the success of last year’s conference, and including suggestions from conference evaluations, this year’s conference will be BETTER! We’re lightening the schedule, focusing & deepening the content, and bringing in more speakers on topics you asked to be covered. Topics like logistics, pipe manufacturing technology, well & pipeline design trends, etc.

Still fact-driven, still a walk-through from demand drivers to the forecast – whether you are a pipe mill supplier or pipe manufacturer looking for volume, price, raw material, and transportation expectations; a distributor looking at who will be active along with where and how much; an end-user trying to figure out what they will have to pay for pipe – and how hard it will be to get; an investor/analyst assessing risk or looking for opportunity, etc – this conference will answer your questions. Use the conference materials to plug into your model and, with the background you gain by attending, your work will be finished.
