Despite this and the continuing investment in our manufacturing plants and service facilities, the balance sheet remains strong and healthy. Industry trends identified in previous years continued in 2011, with high oil prices, low natural gas prices (at least in North America) and an even more emphatic rush to develop unconventional, especially shale, resources. Global financial worries have not seriously impacted the demand for energy in most of our markets, so that customers have continued with their development and investment programmes – leading to high demand for our products. Activity levels in the Gulf of Mexico, an important market for us, are beginning to recover to somewhere near their pre-2010 levels. Meanwhile, the abundant resources available in shale deposits onshore in the United States and elsewhere are being tapped at an increasing rate, with the emphasis moving to liquids for reasons of price. 02 Hunting PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2011 ChairmanXsXstatement_v21.indd 2 09/03/2012 19:56 Job: ChairmanXsXstatement_v21 Proof: 01 Proof Read by: Operator: paul Date: 9 March 2012 7:40 PM Server: studio 2 Set-up: paul First Read/Revisions COMPANY OVERVIEW BUSINESS REVIEW GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS “ Customers have A higher proportion of wells than ever before are George Helland, a non-executive Director since being drilled horizontally and the Group has a 2001, retired from the Company during the year. continued with comprehensive suite of products to support this The Board thanks him for his thorough and their development trend.
