First published by ICC in 1936, Incoterms® rules provide internationally accepted definitions and rules of interpretation for most common commercial terms used in contracts for the sale of goods.

We have just added the official reference links to ICC INCOTERMS® RULES 2020 and their official chart showing transport obligations, costs & risks chart, for the various trade rules.

New OCTG Casing and Tubing


A new string of OCTG casing is being born, we have multiple strings at port side awaiting shipping, others going through TPI, and new strings making their way through the mills or in the threading plants.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, OCPL has been in close regular contact with all our prime manufacturers which are spread out over twelve countries, each having unique national and local challenges.

The vast majority of our manufacturers currently remain relatively unaffected by the COVID-19 restrictions, which are still affecting so many manufacturers worldwide.

They have been able to manage this with comprehensive and strictly enforced COVID-19 workplace protocols to ensure a healthy workforce is maintained.

During this period of interrupted supply, OCPL has been able to delver a wide range of newly manufactured products, ranging from complete cementing packages through to entire strings of high alloy OCTG casing.

International freight logistics remains the greatest ongoing challenge for meeting customers on time supply expectations and with our customers executing procurement earlier and a lot of close communication with our freight forwarders we have managed to avoid costly delays.

OCPL supplies the complete package. Conductors 16″ ~ 36″; Casing 4 1/2″ ~ 20″; Tubing 1.05″ ~ 4 1/2″. API and Premium connections available.

Website Upgrade


We are currently in the process of overhauling the Oilfield Connect website, which although it has served us well in our foundation years, it now needs some upgrades to prepare for the next stage of growth.

We are adding in some of our new upstream O&G & mineral mining products and creating more informative and meaningful data tables for engineers and procurement specialists to reference.

One of the more exciting new features is the exclusive client members area which is already setup and fully functional.

This new feature allows client members to access additional information, such as brochures, product data sheets, running manuals and more.
