Ep 56 - OCTG Update for July 2021

As of recently, every headline would have us believe that the green energy revolution is just around the corner.  We've built up a massive movement, culturally and financially, to move away from fossil fuels and leapfrog into the future with renewable energy.  The only problem is, despite all our wishful thinking, the world still very much runs on petroleum.  With the recent withdrawl of the oil majors, can the Independent Oil Producers come in and finally get their chance to seize the throne?

Ep 51 - OCTG Update for Mid-March 2021

While Geothermal stands as an emerging "green" energy, it still has many technological shortfalls to overcome, one of which is having the right Casing to handle such deep and hot temperatures. For this technology to be abundant and viable, you would need pipe than can withstand temperatures of 300 degrees Celsius (572 Fahrenheit!) We've been finding conflicting information on how OCTG could tackle this problem, so we styled this Podcast in the form of an Open Letter.  If any industry professionals out there would like to offer us their two cents on this we'd welcome the opportunity to have a robust discussion about it!
