The upcoming Argus 2025 OCTG Forum in Houston promises an insightful look into the evolving landscape of oil country tubular goods. Set to take place on November 18, the forum will bring together industry leaders and market experts to delve into key drivers shaping the market and explore trends in regional drilling activity.

One of the focal points of discussion will revolve around OCTG price trends and distributor sentiment.

Additionally, the forum will provide valuable insights into the hot-rolled coil (HRC) market outlook. Despite a tumultuous trade environment, there has been surprising steel price stability. The discussion will shed light on how steel mills and customers have structured supply agreements for 2026, along with HRC supply and demand expectations heading into the following year.

The OCTG market trends and price forecast segment will analyze how oil and gas price forecasts uniquely influence OCTG demand. The discussion will also explore how drilling efficiency trends, such as longer laterals, reduced downtime, and higher tons per rig, are increasing OCTG demand. The forum will offer a comprehensive OCTG price forecast through 2026, presenting a base case, downside, and upside scenarios to guide participants in navigating market volatility and planning for the future strategically.
