An increase in exploration and drilling activities is expected to drive the growth of the oil country tubular goods (OCTG) market in the future. Oil and gas exploration involves the methods and techniques employed to identify potential drilling locations for hydrocarbon extraction. The rising global demand for energy has contributed to an uptick in oilfield exploration. Oil country tubular goods, including casing, tubing, piping, and pipelines, are essential components used in oilfields. They play a crucial role in designing pipelines for oil and gas wells and serve as conduits for the efficient and safe extraction of resources. For example, in October 2023, Drilling Contractor, a US-based industry magazine, reported that the US onshore market is projected to have 676 active drilling rigs in Q4 2023, marking a 4% increase from the 651 rigs reported in Q4 2022. Thus, the rise in exploration and drilling operations is set to propel the oil country tubular goods market.

The growing demand for natural gas as a cleaner energy source is anticipated to drive the expansion of the oil country tubular goods (OCTG) market. Natural gas, primarily composed of methane along with other hydrocarbons, is considered a cleaner alternative for energy needs. This demand has led to increased investments in production facilities, such as pipelines and processing plants, which require OCTG products for well construction, infrastructure development, and technological advancements. According to the US Energy Information Administration in September 2023, the total natural gas consumption across industries reached 32.28 trillion cubic feet in 2022, reflecting a 5.35% increase from 2021. The rising demand for natural gas as a cleaner energy source is expected to be a driving factor for the oil country tubular goods (OCTG) market.

Innovations in products have become a prominent trend in the oil country tubular goods (OCTG) market, with major companies focusing on developing cutting-edge solutions for a competitive advantage. For instance, SPM Oil & Gas introduced the SPM Simplified Frac Iron System in May 2022, designed to enhance operating efficiency at frac sites by reducing the footprint and amount of iron required for operations. This innovative system streamlines connections, resulting in less rig-up time, reduced labor expenses, and improved overall operational efficiency.

Major companies in the oil country tubular goods (OCTG) market are engaging in collaborations to enhance their product offerings and improve supply chain efficiencies. These partnerships aim to provide OCTG solutions specifically for oil and gas exploration and production wells in Brazil's pre-salt oil region. For example, in January 2023, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A., a Brazilian petroleum company, formed a partnership with Vallourec S.A., a French manufacturing firm, to supply OCTG solutions. The contract involves 1,800 tonnes of premium carbon steel tubes with Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) liners, along with associated Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) accessories. This agreement builds upon an existing three-year long-term contract for the supply of OCTG tubes.

In June 2022, Pipeline Technique Ltd., a UK-based solution provider for the oil and gas industry, acquired the STANLEY Oil & Gas business from Stanley Black & Decker. The acquisition, which includes pipeline services and equipment businesses, positions Pipeline Technique as a cross-market specialist capable of serving clients in the oil and gas, renewable energy, carbon capture, and infrastructure sectors. Stanley Black & Decker, a US-based company, is a provider of industrial tools, household hardware, and security products.
