         Opportunities to expand energy and industrial market
         share in US and Canada

         -  $10/ton reduction in steel costs = $.18/share EPS

         Are reducing Canadian Steel Cost by $60/Tons which
         reduces overall Steel Cost by $20/Ton

OCTG Consumption per Rig Rising
Sharply


          Consumption per Rig up 16% since 1995

          Usage higher due to . . .

          -   Completion percentage up from 76% to 80%

          -   Developmental drilling strong at current prices

          -   Faster drilling speeds

          -   Higher percentage of Gas wells


          1995 -  723 Avg. Rigs = 1.5 million Tons of consumption

          2000 -  917 Avg. Rigs = 2.2 million Tons of consumption

          2001 - 1150 Avg. Rigs = 2.9 million Tons of consumption*
