Excellence in Strategic Management is a feature of this small capital stock from the Oil Well Services & Equipment Industry. The management team has structured the business model creatively. The company is a useful service provider for its industrial clients. Oil wells could be in North America, or in an exotic spot off the African coast. It could be a regular drill operations day on land or at sea. It could also be a sudden and devastating fire out of control. This company is always at hand with a slew of handy products and services. It reaches all over the drilled globe.

Company organization integrates tightly with client needs. Well intervention and response are two categories of outsourced support, and without it, no oil or gas exploration site can operate durably. The company combines comprehensive preventive measures for adverse events at drilling sites, with contingent support that can swing into action at short notice. Explosions and fires threaten all oil and gas wells, including sites which have been operational for decades. The management has focused on this vital back-room area to build tremendous value for the company.

Nominally, the stock represents exceptional value. The stock has traded below $2 during the first half of April 2008. The market capitalization is less than $150 million. Most of the 75.78 million shares are available for retail trade. However, the world-wide economic assets protected by this company are astronomical. It is also integral to the energy security scene. Clearly, it is a case for investors to look between and beyond the stock number lines.
