  • The State of our Industry Update February 20, 2025

    In November 2018, serving as First Vice President on the SEG Board I wrote a short article on the state of our industry looking at the evolution of the main service companies in our industry from 2012-2018 for the TLE President’s Page that appeared in the December 2018 issue, you can find a copy here:

    I decided to revisit the numbers in 2024, in the November 2018 article I had to estimate the revenues for 2018 as the data from the public companies was only available for the first two quarters, so I was curious to see how my estimate held against the real numbers. The approximation was pretty good for most of the companies, with a few others doing better.
