Jon and Jake shoot this episode from the hip. “How are purchasing habits changing for industrial assets?” Will we all be selling our pipe on Amazon one day, or by then will the “Borgs” of Star Trek fame already have taken over our society?

OCTG update! The brothers take care of some housekeeping with a big shout out to Barry Vinson! Thanks for getting to us on the Charpy test we talked about in the previous episode. We discuss oil’s jump in recent days and how future issues on the tariff will impact where OCTG pricing goes. New Challenge: Can you change Jake's mind on Tariffs? Once again, we apologize about the lack of dad jokes.

Jon and Jake discuss one of the largest pipe markets – structural.  How is structural pipe sorted and sold? Is there an index to follow to better understand structural pricing? Learn about the world of structural pipe in this episode.

The Pipe Brothers own and operate the industry’s largest and most state-of-the-art tubing reconditioning facility in the nation.  In this episode, Jon and Jake shed some much-needed light on the topic of reconditioned yellow band tubing.

OCTG Update for June 18th, 2019.  Where are prices headed and how are tariffs affecting price?

The pipe brothers don’t mince words.  In most OCTG supply chains, steel manufacturers perform the only destructive testing, sometimes with a frequency of 1/200 pieces or less.  Get your pocket protectors out, the Pipe Brothers go full-on-pipe-nerd in this episode.

Its hard to call Ryan Hunt’s logistics solution a “disruptive technology,” because there’s no one out there doing what he’s doing.  In one sentence, RCO allows all stakeholders in the logistics supply chain (operators, pipe dealers, multiple freight companies, etc) to view their trucks’ locations through the same app, in real time.  Ryan’s logistics solution is unique because he is a 3rd party, and the Pipe Brothers believe this solution had to come from a 3rd party.  Sit back and relax, because this one is a long one, but well worth it!

The Bros discuss the pipe forecast for the end of May going into June.  Big announcement for an upcoming show, gonna start having guest coming on!  Leave us a comment with your favorite oilfield sayings!  We apologize for the lack of dad jokes on this one, is this a serious show now?
