The Philadelphia Oil Service Sector index, commonly known by its ticker OSX, is based on the stock market movements of 15 oil service company components. The current members of the OSX are Baker Hughes, Cameron, Global Industries, Halliburton, Lufkin Industries, Nabors, Noble Corporation, National Oilwell Varco, Oceaneering, Rowan Companies, Transocean, Smith International, Schlumberger, Tidewater, and Weatherford.
