On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on iron casing, tubing, and drill pipe used in drilling for oil or gas excluding those made of cast iron in Argentina face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying iron casing, tubing, and drill pipe used in drilling for oil or gas excluding those made of cast iron to Argentina? How important is Argentina compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of iron casing, tubing, and drill pipe used in drilling for oil or gas excluding those made of cast iron vary from one country of origin to another in Argentina? On the supply side, Argentina also exports iron casing, tubing, and drill pipe used in drilling for oil or gas excluding those made of cast iron.

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for iron casing, tubing, and drill pipe used in drilling for oil or gas excluding those made of cast iron in Argentina.

I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for iron casing, tubing, and drill pipe used in drilling for oil or gas excluding those made of cast iron for those countries serving Argentina via exports, or supplying from Argentina via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Argentina fits into the world market for imported and exported iron casing,
