This publication summarizes (in tables) data on trends in U.S. export sales that indicate opportunities available to U.S. oilfield machinery manufacturers. The total value of U.S. oilfield machinery exports rose sharply in 1975 to $1.483 billion, up 65% from $901 million in 1974. This performance continued an upward trend marked by a 54% increase from the 1973 level of $586 million. A single category, Parts, Accessories, and Attachments, n.e.c., for Well Drilling Machines, accounted for 71% of 1975 exports or $1.058 billion. The next three categories were Oil and Gas Field Wire Line and Downhole Equipment and Accessories, n.e.c., $96 million; Oil Well Drilling Machines, Rotary Type, $86 million; and Trucks, Nonmilitary, with Derrick Assembly, Winches, and Similar Equipment for Drilling, New, $67 million. Singapore was the leading destination country for oilfield machinery exports in 1975. With $144 million, Singapore easily retained the front running position over Algeria's $118 million. Rounding out the top ten were the United Kingdom ($106 million), Iran ($89 million), Canada ($68 million), Japan ($64 million), Norway ($59 million), netherlands ($53 million), Indonesia ($48 million), and the United Arab Emirates ($47 million). Combined these ten countries received 54% of the total U.S. exports in 1975. Altogether, thirty countries each received at least $10 million in U.S. oilfield machinery exports.
