I’m assuming that ‘Tubular Operations’ refers to pipe making. Am I missing something?

Nope, you aren't. That's oil well casing and drill pipe, line pipe and coupling stock.

Just one of the first ripples of low oil prices.

But hey, at least it won't cost them so much to drive to work, right? (/sarc)

You are correct. Guess which industry is now buying less pipe for new oil wells?
