Business Description

Tesco Corporation was created on December 1, 1993. TESCO is engaged in designing, manufacturing and service delivery of technology based solutions for the upstream energy industry. The Company seeks to change the way wells are drilled by delivering safer and more efficient solutions that add real value by reducing the costs of drilling for and producing oil and gas. The Company has four business segments: Top Drives: egment sells equipment and provides services to drilling contractors and oil and natural gas operating companies throughout the world; Tubular Services: Tubular Services segment includes a suite of proprietary offerings, as well as conventional casing and tubing running services. Casing is steel pipe that is installed in oil, natural gas or geothermal wells to maintain the structural and pressure integrity of the well bore, isolate water bearing surface sands, prevent communication between subsurface strata, and provide structural support of the wellhead and other casing and tubing strings in the well; CASING DRILLINGCASING DRILLING process uses oilfield casing in place of drill pipe to simultaneously drill and case the well, reducing both drilling time and the chance of unscheduled drilling events. CASING DRILLING technology minimizes the use of conventional drill pipe and drill collars and enables the operators to eliminate pipe trips and case the interval while drilling; As a technology-driven company, it continue to invest significantly in research and development activities, primarily related to its proprietary technologies in tubular services, CASING DRILLING and top drive model development. The Company's customers for top drive sales and after-market sales and service mainly consist of drilling contractors, rig builders and equipment brokers and occasionally include major and independent oil and gas companies and national oil companies who wish to own and manage their own top drive systems. The Company's competitors in the sale of top drive systems are National Oilwell Varco, Inc. ("NOV") and Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd., a subsidiary of Nabors Industries Ltd. It is subject to numerous environmental, legal, and regulatory requirements related to its operations worldwide.
