7 GLOBAL OCTG MARKET TRENDS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MIDDLE EAST The Global OCTG market has recovered from its 2009 lows driven by growth in all four major markets: North America, China, CIS and MENA welded now has just under a 30% share Global OCTG consumption by region and type (kt) Mt CAGR = 13% 17.4Mt % 24% 31% 31% 27% North America China CIS MENA South East Asia Other Africa South America Europe Seamless Welded Source: MBR

8 GLOBAL OCTG MARKET TRENDS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MIDDLE EAST The US market is unique with its high percentage of ERW usage Global OCTG consumption by region in 2013 CIS 2.4Mt N. America 6.6Mt Europe 390 kt China 4.1Mt S. America ` 1Mt ` MENA 1.5Mt India, SEA & Australasia 970 kt Welded OCTG Seamless OCTG Africa 360 kt Total shipments ~ 17,400 kt Source: MBR

9 GLOBAL OCTG MARKET TRENDS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MIDDLE EAST There is no shortage of OCTG capacities worldwide Estimated OCTG capacities by region in 2013 (kt) N. America 8 Mt Europe 1.9 Mt CIS 3 Mt China 12.8 Mt Welded OCTG S. America 2 Mt ` ` Africa 100 kt Middle East 1.2Mt Other Asia 4 Mt Seamless OCTG Source: MBR Total capacity = 32Mt

10 GLOBAL OCTG MARKET TRENDS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MIDDLE EAST European capacity is nearly 5 times of the demand within its region however because of the absolute capacity size in China this is the global threat Ratio of Installed regional capacity to regional demand 4.9 Europe 4.1 India, SEA and Australia 2.9 China 2.0 S.America CIS N.America 0.8 MENA 0.3 Africa Source: MBR

11 GLOBAL OCTG MARKET TRENDS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MIDDLE EAST USA and Middle East are two largest import markets with net imports accounting for 2.9Mt and 1.5Mt accordingly 2.9Mt 1.5Mt ` ` Source: MBR

14 GLOBAL OCTG MARKET TRENDS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MIDDLE EAST There s been a lot of pressure on Middle East prices from China and anywhere else 3000 Regional prices for casing with premium connections, $/tonne Jan-14 Feb-14 Mar-14 Apr-14 May-14 Jun-14 Jul-14 Aug-14 USA P110 premium ME L80 premium W.Europe L80 premium Japan L80 premiun China P110 premium Source: MBR

15 GLOBAL OCTG MARKET TRENDS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MIDDLE EAST While OCTG imports are perceived as a threat to the domestic market, can the USA export its shale drilling technology (new threading/stock facilities) to other parts of the world? The global development of shale drilling outside the USA in 2014 UK- Ukraine crisis could push the UK and others in Europe quicker into shale drilling, although several political and environmental constraints remain Saudi Arabia exploring and appraising shale gas resrves in the Empty Quarter, NorthWest/Red Sea and South Ghawar Russia Rosneft and BP sign agreement to develop shale oil in the Volga region China Sinopec/CNPC now developing Fuling field first commercial shale field coming into operation Argentina - Vaca Muerta one of the worlds largest shales both oil + gas. Chevron working here with YPFSA Source: MBR India OGNC started drilling exploratory wells for shale gas planning to drill 30 in the next 2 years Australia - Chevron, Conoco, Statoil, Total, BG and Hess now investing over $1,5bn in shale gas drilling in Australia
