What Ameron Pole Products does

NOV Inc. (formerly National Oilwell Varco), founded in 1861 and listed on the NYSE under ticker NOV, is a global provider of technology-driven solutions for the energy industry, operating across more than 15 business units and 60+ brands from headquarters in Houston, Texas. The portfolio spans the full oilfield value chain: Rig Technologies (land and offshore drilling rigs, top drives, drawworks), ReedHycalog drill bits, Grant Prideco drill string products, Downhole Technologies, Subsea Production Systems, Artificial Lift Systems, Fiber Glass Systems, Intervention and Stimulation Equipment, Marine and Construction, Production and Midstream, NOV Digital Services, and WellSite Services. Underpinning the portfolio is the Max industrial IoT platform, which integrates real-time drilling instrumentation, the WellData 4.0 remote monitoring system, RigSense electronic drilling recorders, and the Drilling Beliefs & Analytics (DBA) Bayesian optimization application. Complementary energy transition capabilities include GustoMSC offshore wind vessel design, geothermal, CCUS, hydrogen, and biogas solutions.

NOV generates revenue through a mix of capital equipment sales (drilling rigs, top drives, downhole tools, subsea systems, wind installation vessel equipment), aftermarket parts and services tied to its global installed base, subscription-based digital services (DBA, Max Maintenance, WellData, RigSense), and engineering and project services. Renewable-related revenue reached $310 million in 2025 led by offshore wind cable lay vessel projects. Pricing is quote-based on multi-year enterprise contracts, distributed through a direct field sales organization, application engineers, and a global licensee repair network across 57 countries and 170+ facilities, with no public e-commerce channel for capital equipment. Customers include international and national oil companies (Petrobras, ExxonMobil Guyana, Southern Energy SA), drilling contractors (Stena Drilling, Velesto), offshore wind developers (Cadeler, Hanwha Ocean, Havfram, Dominion Energy), and emerging energy storage players (TerraFlow Energy).
