Title and Description of Applicant's Project (Note 1, Section 1, Item 7 Cont.) These additions will increase production capacity for machining tubing by a minimum of 125% and add on the capability of wellhead assembly. In addition, uncovered storage and handling facilities in the yard will be improved and expanded to absorb the increased volume and a rail siding will be completed. The expansion, when completed, will require Premier to increase its payroll by a minimum of 25 full time, non - salaried, production employees to a total of 50. However, in the expanded configuration, at full production, this plant can employ approximately 125 persons at an annual payroll exceeding $2,000,000. STANDARD FORM 424 PAGE 2 (10-75) City of Pueblo January 18, 1983 Mr. Arthur Townsend State Historic Preservation Officer Colorado Preservation Office 1300 Broadway Denver, CO 80203 Dear Mr. Townsend: The City of Pueblo is preparing an Urban Development Action Grant Application for the Premier Tubular Products Company. Attached as Exhibit 1 is a project description prepared by the Company. Premier Tubular Products is located within an industrial park to the northwest of the City of Pueblo within Pueblo West (See Exhibit 2). Prior to development by Premier Tubular, the project site was vacant. The site currently contains one trailer office facility, two "Twin T" concrete structures which house the manufacturing activity, and a pipe yard. The only other activity within the industrial park is the Manville Corporation facility located directly south of the project site (See Exhibit 3). After careful review of the project site, the City of Pueblo has determined that: 1) There are no National Register properties on the site, and the area is not within a National Register District. 2) There are no National Register or eligible resources within the project impact area which could reasonably be expected to be affected, either directly or indirectly, by the above project. In the event that resources are identified as a result of the above project, steps to achieve compliance with the Advisory Council Regulations 36 CFR 800 will be taken. If you have any additional questions, please contact Gladys R. Comi, 545 -0563. Sincerely, red Weis r City Manager FEW /JFM /bg Enclosures P.O. Box 1427 Pueblo, Colorado 81002 (303) 545-0561 PREMIER TUBULAR PRODUCTS PROJECT DESCRIPTION Current Operation I. INTRODUCTION and CORPORATE STRUCTURE PREMIER TUBULAR PRODUCTS, a Colorado Corporation based in Pueblo, Colorado, is engaged in the business of providing a comprehensive array of services and pro- ducts to the oil and gas development and production industry in the western states in general and, more particularly, in the Rocky Mountain region. PREMIER's corporate offices, storage facilities and production plant are locat- ed at 1739 E. Platteville Boulevard, Pueblo West, Colorado 81007. Our regional sales offices are in Denver, Colorado, Casper, Wyoming and Farmington, New Mex- ico. On October 29, 1981, the stockholders elected a Board of Directors comprised of Mssrs. James R. Williams of Pueblo, Colorado, Weaver Connell of Walsenburg, Colorado and H. Lynn Hale of Pueblo, Colorado. The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Williams President of PREMIER TUBULAR PRODUCTS, Mr. Hale to the position of Secretary - Treasurer and Mr. B.F. Morton of Denver, Colorado, to the position of Vice President. The registered agent for the Corporation is Petersen and Fonda, P.C. of Pueblo, Colorado, as represented by Mr. David B. Shaw, Attorney at Law. PREMIER has been authorized to sell two million shares of common stock at no par value. Mr. Williams, President of PREMIER, is the majority stockholder, owning 510,342 shares or fifty -five per cent of the shares sold to date. The balance of shares is owned by thirteen individuals, none holding more than twelve per cent of the total. PREMIER presently holds more than one million shares of common stock in reserve which may be sold in the event that additional equity capital is desired. II. OPERATIONS A. DEVELOPMENT PREMIER TUBULAR PRODUCTS initiated operations in November, 1981, acquiring a thirty -acre site for plant and storage facilities and an option on an adjacent site of fifty acres in January, 1982. Construction began in February and con- tinued through May of 1982. Concurrently, specialized production equipment was procured and an organized sales and marketing effort was launched. Two produc- tion lines for machining tubing and casing and a diesel - powered, pipe straight- ener were made operational in June. Customer goods were accepted into the yard and limited service operations begun in the same month. During the second quarter of 1982, several major oil companies maintaining in- ventories of pipe in the Pueblo area had contacted PREMIER and were awaiting the opening of the plant. In July, these 'majors' moved a limited amount of batch work into our yard which was designed to test the quality and efficiency of PREMIER's services with future business contingent on satisfactory results. EXHIBIT 1 Premier Tubular Products Project Description By October, having proved our capabilities, we had received substantial work orders from Tenneco, Champlin, Amoco and Mitsubishi and their enthusiastic recommendations to other customers as well. Concurrent with the development of our physical plant and production capability, PREMIER's marketing group expanded the range of services and products offered to include lines of wellhead valves, chokes and other recovery and treatment equip- ment. We were fortunate to obtain exclusive distribution rights for a major manufacturer of premium, high - performance wellhead valves in their Rocky Moun- tain Sales Region. Sales offices were opened in Denver, Casper and Farmington, enabling us to penetrate the market in an area extending from the San Juan Basin in northern New Mexico through the Overthrust Belt, the Denver Julesburg Basin and into the Williston Basin in the northern plains states. Our timely acquisition of a highly - skilled and experienced wellhead man allowed us to organize a team to perform on -site wellhead services in the fall of 1982. This team completed its first contract for services to thirty -eight wellheads in the Beaver Creek, Wyoming, field of a major producer during the following October. B. CURRENT OPERATIONS OVERVIEW: TUBULAR GOODS PREMIER now offers a complete range of machining and testing services on oil country tubular goods in sizes from 23f8 inch OD through 13 inch OD. All work is performed to the rigid standards and specifications of the American Petroleum Institute (API), the recognized controlling agency for the standards of the oil and gas industry. Two production lines for machining pipe are now in operation at our Pueblo plant site. On the 'North Line', pipe, in diameters not exceeding 41 inches, is load- ed onto a hydraulically- operated handling rack. Two high -speed steel, cut -off and threading machines work the opposite ends of each stick of pipe in sequence. The threaded stick is then moved down the line and into a third machine which spins on and tightens a coupling to one end. The piece of pipe continues to the next station where, in the final operation, it is filled with water pumped to the pressure specified by the API for that particular, diameter, weight and grade. 'Leakers' are returned to the starting point and re- worked. Finished pipe is stacked in the yard on concrete sills to await transportation arranged by the customer. On the 'South Line', pipe exceeding 4� inches in diameter travels through a si- milar process on another hydraulically activated rack. However, the cutting and threading operations are performed on a single machine - a high- performance, carbide - tooled, direct -drive lathe. Under our current operations configuration, if a stick of pipe requires machining on both ends, it must be passed down the South Line twice. If the stick requires a coupling, it must be 'bucked on' in the lathe. Each stick worked on the South Line must then be transferred to the North Line to be hydrotested. PREMIER also has the means to straighten tubing, casing and drill pipe not ex- ceeding 5� inches in outside diameter. The bend may be quite severe and yet be removed if the pipe has not been dented or crushed. The machine designed for this purpose is powered by a diesel engine and is mobile to enable it to accom- pany workover crews to remote well sites. Our straightener utilizes the stress relief principle of metallurgy, spinning the bent stick between dies in an oil bath, thus creating sufficient heat and pressure to 'encourage' the steel to seek its original shape without loss of strength. After a joint is straightened in this manner, a drift guage is passed through it to be certain that it is round, as well. In recent weeks, PREMIER has initiated an outreach service by sending crews into the yards of local storing carriers to perform surface cleaning, exterior mill coating and visual thread inspection, cleaning and lubrication. This is done at the request of owners who have begun to draw down on portions of their inven- tories that have been in the yards for extended periods of time and wish to re- store that pipe to prime condition before sale or use. It is common for PREMIER to service three or,four thousand joints of pipe per month under these agree- ments The nature of the business in which we are engaged dictates the ability to organize, analyze, retrieve, inter - relate and disseminate millions of bits of data. Each joint of pipe is labeled according to its own set of unique charac- teristics. This pipe is then shepherded through a series of processes, some of which will change the previous characteristics of the stick. The pipe must then be re- labeled and stored, the place of storage known, so that it may be returned to the owner when called for. The entire process must then be costed out against a matrix of some two hundred variables and billed to the customer. Additional factors insuring stringent quality control and efficient plant operations also number in the thousands and must be monitored. This complex task is accomplished through a combination of manual and automated data processing systems designed and implemented from the inception of the business. PREMIER's systems and pro- cedures conform to the generally accepted methods and variables of the petroleum industry and ensure the accurate and speedy exchange of information with our customers. In addition, our computer performs the standard accounting functions of any business. C. STAFFING PATTERNS PREMIER now employs more than twenty, full -time, production employees. The current production schedule is based on a seventy hour week in the plant utilizing about fifteen production people and the balance of our non - salaried personnel staff a fourty -eight hour production week in the trucking terminal yards. Pro- duction supervisors, administrators, and sales personnel number ten. Most of our production employees have been obtained through the Pueblo County Manpower Administration which is designed to aid the chronically unemployed and underemployed workers of the local area while assisting employers in bearing the cost of training such workers. Participation in this program has resulted in a high quality labor force for the Corporation a low initial cost. Subse- quently, we have chosen to expand and modify this very satisfactory contractual relationship with Pueblo Manpower in order to continue to develop our labor re- sources as increased business activity warrants.
