History

Oil States International and its subsidiaries have a long, rich history of operations in the oilfield services industry.

1937
Our Tubular Services segment was founded in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as a small oilfield supply store.

1942
Our Offshore Products segment was founded as a supplier of rubber components for Texas oil patch producers.

1950s
Offshore Products expanded its rubber expertise by pioneering the first flexible load bearings for bridges, which became the foundation for our connector technology and our FlexJoint® connectors.

1970s
Our Well Site Services segment began operations, serving oil and gas companies in Canada and along the Gulf Coast.

1980s
Offshore Products responded to increasing exploration depths with new offerings for TLPs, FPSOs, subsea pipeline maintenance and repair, and subsea template installation and leveling.

1999
Tubular Services completed a series of acquisitions combining the top U.S. distributors and has since grown to be a leading tubular distributor and logistics services provider to the oil and gas industry in the U.S.

2001
We completed our initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange.

Through our history of internal expansion, complemented by over thirty acquisitions, Oil States has become the leader in deepwater capital equipment including products for floating production facilities, subsea pipelines and floating drilling rigs. In addition, Oil States is a leading North American provider of remote workforce accommodations, production and completion rental tools, wellhead isolation equipment, and drilling services. We will continue our legacy of innovation, disciplined growth and steadfast service into the future.
