From Keith Mosing, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Welcome to Frank’s International Direct
Despite the market’s downturn, Frank’s was fortunate to finish strong in 2010
and, as permits are being granted for exploration in the Gulf, I am confident
we will again lead the industry in 2011. Our optimism for the oil and gas industry and our commitment to technology and progress have never wavered.
Frank’s has been awarded the Energy Point Research “Seal of Excellence”
for receiving first-place ratings in their 2010 Oilfield Products & Services
Customer Satisfaction Survey in multiple categories, including casing &
tubing, installation, tubular handling equipment, completion-related services
and non-vertical wells.
I am excited to feature Frank’s Caisson Centralizer in this issue. Our centralizer, developed in 2007,
is a monumental advancement in safety. I am honored to provide new technological solutions for our
customers and to be a part of something that reduces the risks to men and women who already sacrifice so much for the oil and gas industry.
Additionally, this issue features a handful of the organizations and charities with which we are involved.
I believe it is important for Frank’s to give back to the communities we serve, and FI Direct provides
a unique opportunity to share our efforts with our customers, employees and friends.
Frank’s is working tirelessly to provide goods and services to customers in the Marcellus Shale area
in the U.S., and in our recently opened location in Australia, which will be featured in the next issue.
I am excited to face these new challenges. The unfamiliar ground will not hinder our efforts to exceed
industry-wide standards.
As always, we owe our continued success to our customers, advertisers and employees, without
whom none of this would be possible. Thank you for your continued confidence in Frank’s. The Frank’s
family will continue our efforts to provide outstanding service and commitment to each and
everyone one of our customers. Let’s all work together to make 2011 a year to remember.
Regards,

Winners’ Day at
Frank’s International Aberdeen
Total E&P Schools Days Competition
By Cherie Scott
Frank’s International Aberdeen recently had the pleasure of hosting a
Winners’ Day for the Total E&P UK Schools Days Competition.
The Total E&P UK Schools Days Competition, organized by Christine Jones
(Issues Manager at Total E&P UK), is a Scottish regional event held in September of each year. Schools are invited to send two teams of five from S3
level (ages 13-14). The 2010 competition was an all day event that involved the children learning about general engineering, International Energy Agency (IEA) statistics on global supply/demand, carbon capture and
storage (CCS) and global energy. A geologist spoke to the children about
earth science and exploration, and then two engineers demonstrated an
intelligent pig checking a pipeline. The purpose of the competition is to encourage children to take an interest in science, geology and engineering.
The winning team from each region was taken to Aberdeen for various
activities, including visits to the Aberdeen Maritime Museum, Aberdeen
University and Frank’s International’s Aberdeen location. Cherie Scott
organized a tour for students to visit Frank’s International Aberdeen, where
members of Frank’s management team gave presentations. The students
were taken on a site and rig tour, and the day ended with a quiz and prizes.
Each presentation covered a different aspect of the industry. The first
was given by Charles Forbes (Regional Operations Manager for Europe
and West Africa), on an introduction to the Oil and Gas Industry. He
presented a brief history on the Industry and explained why oil and gas
are so essential to our everyday life. Charles described the oil and
gas extraction process, showed a short animation of oilfield drilling and
highlighted exciting future prospects the oil industry has to offer.
6
The second presentation, an introduction on how an oil rig works, was
delivered by Dougal Brown, UK Engineering Manager. He outlined the different types of rigs, showed an animated tour of a Semi-Submersible and
described each part of the rig in detail, from the derrick to the shakers.
The final presentation was given by Eddie Sinclair (UK Technical Director).
Eddie’s presentation covered the history of Frank’s International. He
provided the students with historical dates of Frank’s from 1938,
when Frank Mosing started Frank’s Casing Crew, to the production of the
FA-1 Tool. He also spoke about Frank’s International’s locations around
the globe.
Following the presentations, the children were treated to a site and rig
tour from Frank’s UK Operations Manager, Steve Murray, and Operations
and Logistics Coordinator, Craig Ogston. On these tours, the children saw
many of Frank’s International’s tools, including Varco’s Flush Mounted
Spider’s, Handslip’s, Power Units and Power Tongs. They were shown the
process of what happens to a tool when it returns to the base from offshore. The students watched as the tools arrived on the containers, were
washed in the wash bay and were stripped of paint. They witnessed the
tools going through a Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) and then being
dressed and greased in the service bay for painting. The winners were
then taken to the training rig to familiarize them with a working platform.
Frank’s International Aberdeen is honored to have been a part of this
experience and looks forward to participating for years to come.

Offshore Technology Conference
Houston, Texas 2010
By Shannon Routte
The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) was founded in 1969
to advance the Oil & Gas Industry. It is an annual four-day event
held at Reliant Center in Houston, Texas. OTC’s mission statement,
taken directly from their website is as follows: “OTC is organized
and operated exclusively to promote and further the advance
of scientific and technical knowledge of offshore resources and
environmental matters.”
OTC boasts a half million square feet of exhibits, with more than 2,358
exhibiting companies. According to a Press Release on the OTC website,
72,900 people attended OTC in 2010, a substantial increase from the
2009 total of 67,700.
Frank’s has displayed tools in a booth at OTC for over 25 years! 2010 offered yet another opportunity for Frank’s to showcase five tools and capitalize on valuable face time with current and potential customers. Frank’s
8
commitment to OTC in 2010 was paramount. Not only did 15 engineers
attend the show to field questions from the booth’s guests, but Mr. Donald Mosing, President and CEO of Frank’s Casing Crew and Rental Tools,
was also in attendance.
Frank’s is privileged to have an even larger booth at OTC May 2, 2011
through May 5, 2011. A variety of tools, including three of Frank’s
International’s drilling tools, will be on display with qualified sales
professionals and engineers to answer questions.
Frank’s looks forward to welcoming its guests for another great year.

Centralizing the Gulf
Frank’s Caisson Centralizer
By Keith “Kit” Lutgring
As new permits are granted, drilling along the Gulf Coast is slowly
beginning to increase. Deep Water activities are still sparse, but Jackup
Drilling Rigs are getting back to business in the shelve area, which is
water depths of 40' to 350'. After a well (in suitable water depths) has
been drilled and proven viable, protection caissons are installed over
the single well head. The caisson must be driven over the well head and
drive pipe that was installed at the beginning of the drilling process. The
top of this caisson is utilized to install the well head structure that
supports navigation lights, fog horns and well monitoring equipment. A
typical well would have the well head mounted on 30 inch drive pipe. For
caisson installation, the well head, or “Christmas Tree” has a drive
protector/bullet (i.e. a large cylinder with a conical nose) placed over it.
The drive protector in a typical well has an outer diameter (OD) of
42 inches and is six feet long. It protects the well head as the caisson
is lowered over, welded in sections and then driven (with a diesel or
hydraulic hammer) into the sea bed for structural support.
In the past, several techniques have been utilized in an effort to minimize
the movement between the inside of the caisson and outside of well
head bullet/drive pipe. This stabilization provided that the units were
concentric and allowed for the welding of the next section of the caisson,
which is typically 45 feet long.
One common method for welding caisson is to weld blades inside the
sections. However, the blades have to be sized to clear the well head
bullet at the top, which allows for considerable movement. In rough
weather, caisson movement leads to the suspension of operations and
nonproductive time (NPT), because the next sections cannot be welded.
Another technique commonly used is to install rigid centralizers onto the
30" drive pipe prior to the start of the caisson operations. This method
requires personnel to access the area below the well head deck to
install the units. The first unit is allowed to slide to the sea bed, and the
second one usually has to be secured to the 30" drive pipe above the
water line. This takes considerable time and places the installation personnel at risk for injury. While this method allows for a closer fit on the
centralizers than the pre-installed blades previously mentioned, the
placement below the water line cannot be controlled. The sea bed unit
does not provide stabilization of the caisson until they come into
contact. In water depths greater than 40', caisson movement resulting
from wave action can still hamper operations.
installation. As such, Frank’s refused to take the path of least resistance
by following the competition and manufacturing the same type of
centralizers. Mediocrity is not an option for Frank’s.
In keeping with the spirit of the Frank's philosophy, “We Want the
Best, So We Build Our Own,” Kirk Mosing, former Hammer Operations
Supervisor, believed that Frank’s could provide an improved system
to address caisson installation problems. Through his persistence,
Frank’s Pipe Department, along with Antelope Oil Tools, was able to
develop a new system that differs significantly from the competition.
The patent pending, integral reverse bow caisson centralizer has been
superior to previous methods of caisson stabilization during installations and has provided greater stabilization than the previous
system. Additionally, it reduces rig time and personnel risk in
caisson applications.
The key is the pre-installed reverse bow centralizer that has the ability,
even after being compressed over the wellhead bullet, to center the
caisson onto the drive pipe. The bow springs then act as a damper
against the wave action movement that could normally cause interruptions of the operation. This allows a larger window in which operations
can continue during rough weather, saving additional rig time and money.
Caisson Centralizers are available in various sizes. The units are
positioned in the caisson at the required position while it is in the pipe
yard, reducing all rig time normally associated with previous systems.
It does not require any personnel involvement at the well site, eliminating personnel risk. The ability to do the installation in the pipe yard
allows for the correct placement related to the water depth in which the
caisson will be set.
This system was developed in 2007, and to date has been used
successfully with several Gulf Coast operators. Frank’s continues its
commitment to providing the best service and products available in
the industry. Additionally, Frank’s strives to improve its services and
products through its wealth of experience and exceptional personnel.

Helping Hands 2010
The Turning Point Fishing Tournament
By Thomas Custer
Every April for the past few years, the Custer family has volunteered time,
money and boat to participate in the Annual Turning Point Fishing
Tournament for the physically challenged. On April 9th-10th, 2010, with
the help of Frank’s International, we were once again able to participate.
As the owner of Early Haze, a 36-foot Chris Craft Commander, and as the
pastors of Pentecostals of Santa Fe, we are always looking for opportunities to reach out to those around us.
From the first time we fished the tournament, our hearts went out to the
participants who were of all ages and disabilities. Some were born with
deformities, while others had been badly injured or burned.
On the Friday night before the tournament, the Galveston Yacht Club and
Turning Point co-host a shrimp boil and meet and greet. Everyone
gathers under a large tent and mingles with those less fortunate, while
engaging in a silent auction and watching a slide show of activities the
organization has sponsored in the past. The joy of the Friday night party
is only surpassed by the faces of the physically challenged as boats
arrive and load. We may take for granted the simple joys of a boat ride
or a fishing trip, but for those in wheelchairs, such an experience is
treasured. Every effort is appreciated, and the thankfulness that comes
from the participants is overwhelming.
The fishing tournament kicked-off on Saturday morning. We loaded our
fisherman, his wheelchair and his brother-in-law (who came along to help)
into the cockpit and headed for the fishing grounds. The morning was
dreary, cool and overcast with a high chance of rain, but we steamed on
through it all in high spirits. We fished for a couple of hours and caught
some nice Black Drum (it was a drum tournament). While we were sitting
and visiting, waiting for the fish to bite, it began to rain. As the other boats
made their way past us to find shelter, I asked our passengers if they were
ready to call it a day. The decision was made to stay. We all sat in the
cabin, fishing lines still in the water, hoping the day would never end. That
night closed with another party, fellowship, BBQ and plenty of fish stories
and laughter. We did not win the tournament (maybe next year), but we
did win some great friends.
I would like to thank Frank’s International, with a special thank you to
Keith Mosing for his sponsorship. This event is a great cause and Frank’s
generosity is greatly appreciated. I am honored to work for a company
that makes an effort to reach into the local community and the world.
Thank you again for a providing us with the opportunity to participate in
a great tournament!
The tournament is growing so fast that we had to scrounge for boats at
the last minute. If you can help by volunteering your boat or your time,
please contact Turning Point by visiting www.turningpointnation.org.

2010 BP Multiple Sclerosis 150
Houston to Austin, Via La Grange
By Keith “Kit” Lutgring
I am not the sedentary type, but I am certainly no glutton for punishment
either. When I was approached about riding in the BP MS 150 bike race,
I asked, “In what motorized vehicle will I ride” and “Can I drive?” Much
to my dismay, the bikes were powered by man, not machine, and the
participants were riding, not driving. There were, however, many other
Frank’s Worldwide employees who were up for the challenge, even though
it meant they would be subjected to powering two wheeled cycles with
nothing but their own brawn and heart.
All the athletes who contributed their sweat, toil and dollars to aid in the
battle against MS were supported by a team of volunteers who followed
behind them in support vehicles. This event is a true testament to the
participants and volunteers who are willing to dedicate their time and
suffer with their sore muscles to benefit a worthy cause. Corporate sponsors and individuals share one common goal: raising funds for the battle against Multiple Sclerosis.
Frank’s Worldwide partnered with Southwestern Energy and was able to
field a team of over 50 cyclists, many of whom have been exposed to the
effects of MS on loved ones, friends or colleagues. Loved ones of individuals diagnosed with MS often feel powerless, and at times helpless.
This race provides an outlet for them to show their support for the
people they care about and those they have never met. For some, the
150 mile stretch of scenic byways in Texas represented a challenge they
could face and conquer. For others, cycling is their passion, and they were
thrilled to be able to do something they love for such a worthy cause.
The starting line for the race was in Houston, Texas. The first trek was on
roads less traveled, which were relatively flat. For approximately 50 miles
the terrain slowly worked the cyclists’ muscles. Then, before they knew it,
they were faced with some pretty serious elevation changes. The hills are
camouflaged by the beautiful Texas countryside, with green fields, wild
14
flowers and lazily grazing cattle. Nonetheless, it was uphill! Thankfully, the
organizers of the race were not totally sadistic; they divided the race into
two segments. There was a mid race layover in La Grange, Texas, a welcome stop for the weary travelers who had pedaled 75 miles!
La Grange offered showers, massages, hot food, cold drinks and a comfortable place for everyone to lay their heads, which is where I fit in! I,
the cook, worked alongside two volunteer chefs and drove the truck that
pulled the FI Cook Wagon, which was stocked with burners, pots, pans,
silverware and recipes! The idea was to have food available when the
first and last cyclists arrived. Some participants were faster than others,
so the arrivals were staggered for several hours. The early arrivals were
offered sandwiches and snacks to tide them over until a larger meal was
provided in the afternoon.
The next morning, the volunteers were up early to provide breakfast for
the cyclists as they prepared for the final, uphill, leg to Austin, Texas. The
heart and determination of the cyclists was not hampered by the light
rain that fell that morning. The riders rumbled to a state of awareness
and methodically began their routines of preparing for the final 75 miles
of pain and accomplishment.
The participants were from all different walks of life; young and mature,
plump and thin, amateurs and professionals. Despite their differences,
they all came together to make this event successful. They were all driven
by thousands of different reasons but shared one common goal: to finish the MS150. Not all completed the race on their cycles, but all contributed to the success of the 2010 MS 150. I am honored to have been
a part of this experience, and while I cannot speak for the other participants and volunteers, I am enthusiastically gearing up for another year!
If you are game for fun and pain, please join us this year, as a volunteer
or cyclist, to make the BP MS150 2011 as successful as the 2010 event.

FRANK’S PROFILE
Employee Spotlight
Vice President of Corporate Sales, Leonard Castille
Frank’s is pleased to announce the promotion of Leonard Castille to vice
president of corporate sales for Frank’s Casing in Lafayette, Louisiana.
“Leonard has been a hardworking and faithful employee at Frank’s
for more than 30 years,” said Donald Mosing, President and CEO
of Frank’s Casing Crew and Rental Tools. “This is a well-deserved
promotion and one that will help our sales department grow under
Leonard’s leadership.”
Originally serving as a salesman and corporate pilot, Castille moved into
product management and corporate sales in 1990. When asked why he
committed more than a quarter-century to Frank’s, Leonard replied, “It’s
a great company with good people to work for, and there is always something different and challenging about every day.”
In an email to the Lafayette employees, Leonard typed:
“I would like to thank Frank’s Casing Crew President Donald E. Mosing
and the board of directors; Larry Mosing, Keith Mosing, Brent Mosing,
22
Mike Mosing and Kirk Mosing
for appointing me the honor of VP
Corporate Sales of Frank’s Casing
Crew. I am very humbled, considering the magnitude of qualified
people that they have to select from. I will continue working hard to keep
Frank’s (the largest family owned oilfield service company in the world)
ahead of the competition.
…Thanks to the efforts of Keith Mosing, Frank’s International
has established World Wide presence in the Oil and Gas Industry. This
affords all of us the upper hand that our competition lacks.
I cannot conquer this job alone. I ask for the continued support that
each and every one of you have given me over the last 30 years. I
will need help from all of you in order to keep Frank’s on top of our
competition. Please, should anyone have suggestions on how we can
better our sales efforts, please contact me. I pray that all of you will
have continued success....”
