Vallourec Takes Wait and See Approach With Oil Prices

Tube producer Vallourec says it is watching the oil market "very cautiously" as it monitors customer demand in the wake of plummeting oil prices that have manufacturers and energy exploration companies scrambling to adjust. 
"We are looking at oil price trends very cautiously and closely monitoring our customers' activity," the French company said in a statement released Wednesday. "The oil and gas sector, is by nature, cyclical. We've adapted to similar cycles in the past and will adapt to the evolution of the demand."
