The Pathway ® Program Today 9s oil and gas industry is searching for ways to be more efficient, more cost effective. While much progress has been made, two problems important to your bottom line still persist-the overall cost and the all-too-often delays associated with casing, tubing and other downhole components. Hunting Oilfield Services has a sensible solution that answers both problems.

The new PATHWAY® program is a single responsibility for complete tubular systems, from planning and procurement through remnant management and final disposal, with true value added throughout the entire process. STANDARDIZATION CREATES COST SAVINGS. With a Total Cost of Ownership (TOC) approach, Hunting assists in planning the best strategy for supplying your tubular system-including steel tubes, connections, accessories and threaded completion tools along with the necessary services to minimize difficulties with any drilling and completion program.

A global network of company-owned manufacturing and licensed service locations near your oil and gas field operations supports the PATHWAY® Program. Until now, no one company had the resources to manage an entire program with the controlling of cost drivers as its main objective. Through standardization of products and services, Hunting is uniquely equipped to provide effective cost- saving solutions for any well program.

a single source, rather than several, reduces layered costs and administrative overheads associated with multiple contracts. OPTIMIZING THE SUPPLY CHAIN. By bringing together all tubular related services, Hunting is able to offer a seamless supply chain from planning to completion. Most traditional suppliers enter the supply chain at various points in the procurement stage and leave after the supply stage. This greatly limits the opportunities for obtaining the best value. Maximum efficiency and savings are the result of careful planning. For this reason, Hunting should enter the supply chain at the beginning. From this vantage, the Company 9s commercial talent and technical expertise can develop the supply chain parameters to benefit you. Value analysis leads to true TCO The total cost of ownership is not merely the amount chargeed directly to the well, but the total cost as shown through the tubula r system supply chain.

Because steel is a commodity, the price of oil country tubulars is in constant flux. Hunting maintains a close watch on world steel markets, looking for those regional situations where it can take advantage of special opportunities. You have one contact for your entire program, even though one or more alliance and/or project partners may be involved. You get progress updates on your programs from a single-point contact. From planning through well completion, Hunting has one responsibility: to get the tubular system to your well on time at the best value. Moreover, Hunting 9s PATHWAY® program can relieve your personnel of the non-core time-consuming processes of procurement, scheduling and monitoring of shipments, and maintenance of paperwork including governmental requirements. VALUE ADDED AT EVERY STEP. Engineering teams are available to assist your staff in selecting the appropriate grades and weights of steel, connections, and accessories for the complete tubular system. Because Hunting is involved from the beginning and has a comprehensive overview of all facets of your program, the Company is able to develop reliable data to assist you in optimizing your design.

RISK Management With improved risk information, greater cost savings can be achieved. Hunting 9s metallurgists and design engineers p rovide reliable data tha t can led to a more cost- effective well program. Hunting 9s design engineers using ABAQUS® modeling for Finite Element Analysis (FEA), can make an important contribution to risk management b y p redicting performance o f the tubular system for your critical well environments. H unting has fa r -reaching technical disciplines, f rom design and engineering to manufacturing and quality control, including the most QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST. The increasing complexity of today 9s wells, statutory legislation, and cost of offshore and onshore installations emphasizes the importance of an effective Quality Management System (QMS) Hunting 9s dedication to constant improvement of its QMS has the highest priority. In addition to its own stringent disciplines, Hunting 9s manufacturing facilities are certified to API QI and compliant with ISO-9000 series quality standards. The API QR, dual ISO and QI, or BS EN, certification are in effect where applicable. Hunting holds licenses for all major proprietary thread designs and can thread both full length and accessories according to original equipment manufacturer 9s specifications. A MAJOR FORCE IN TUBULAR SYSTEMS. Hunting Oilfield Services began serving the needs of the oil and gas industry in the North Sea in 1967. Because of the rapid success and customer acceptance, the Company embarked on an ambitious program of acquiring tubular facilities and equipment to serve global markets. This growth also resulted in the development of proprietary premium threading, among which are the well-known SEAL-LOCK and TKC connections. At the same time the Hunting FOX connection was jointly developed with Kawasaki Steel Corporation. Hunting Oilfield Services is a vertically integrated tubular system supplier maintaining a close working relationship with more than 30 steel mills, providing threading from 15 company-owned sales/service centers, and with a network of over 50 additional threading partners throughout the world. IMMEDIATE, WORLDWIDE COMMUNICATIONS. The Hunting PATHWAY® program is further supported with a cutting edge electronic communications system that permits instant updating of each customer 9s project. The Company utilizes Lotus Notes on a high-speed Wide Area Network (WAN) that connects all Hunting offices and facilities throughout the world. This network of specialized applications can be accessed by customers and strategic partners for project tracking and monitoring at any hour of the Broadening the AMS envelope Hunting challenges the traditional QMS envelope by insisting on equipment and protocols higher than industry standards. Modern MRP techniques and electronic thread gauging have been pioneered b y Hunting. Such dedication to improvement has led to uniform quality levels and allowed standardization of p roducts day or night. Where applicable, links to networks of strategic partners are also provided.
