Texas Drill Pipe Manufacturing

Thousands of drill pipe sections are stored at a manufacturing plant in Baytown, Texas. These hollow pipes are primarily used on drilling rigs, where they are linked together and plunged several miles into the Earth’s crust to help extract oil. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, global demand for oil has plummeted (along with prices and available storage space), leading to a massive decrease in production.
