Tenaris participated in the IADC Drilling Africa Conference and Exhibition, held on February 24-25 in Windhoek, Namibia, through a technical presentation focused on sustainability and operational efficiency in African deepwater developments.
Erica Gibellini, Tenaris Technical Sales Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, delivered a presentation titled “Driving Sustainability in African Offshore Development Campaigns: Maximized Efficiency and Reduced Carbon Footprint in Well Construction Through Innovation and Integrated Services,” as part of the conference’s sustainability session. Her presentation addressed the growing technical complexity of offshore projects in Sub-Saharan Africa and how integrated solutions can improve efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
Through its Rig Direct® service model, Tenaris offers a comprehensive, digitally integrated approach that boosts operational efficiency, lowers costs and enhances reliability and well integrity for oil and gas operations. By aligning services with customer goals and integrating technical and digital solutions, Tenaris helps operators reduce uncertainty, improve planning and execute more efficiently. This integrated approach has enabled Tenaris to expand its role in Sub-Saharan Africa from tubular supplier to long-term partner across the deepwater project lifecycle.
“The remoteness of deepwater offshore sites in Africa calls for solutions that simplify activities and improve efficiency,” Gibellini said. “Dopeless® technology, Tenaris’s pre-applied dope-free running coating for complex offshore operations, and other value-added solutions such as PipeTracer® identification system, DemandSync™ and RunReady™ service reduce tubular preparation and manual handling, improving safety and accuracy at the rig.”
Gibellini also highlighted how Tenaris’s local facilities in Nigeria and Angola support supply chain integration, helping operators in the region reduce the need for additional onshore infrastructure investments while strengthening in-country capabilities.
