Tenaris has completed more than 7,700 hydraulic fracturing jobs in Argentina since 2020, reaching a major milestone that consolidates its position as a key partner in the development of Vaca Muerta, one of the world’s most dynamic energy regions.
Through the integration of industrial capabilities, operational expertise and service management, Tenaris has expanded beyond tubular supply to deliver additional oilfield services in Argentina. The company currently operates two hydraulic fracturing sets and two coiled tubing units in the country and has achieved an average of more than 20 pumping hours per day.
Supporting this growth, Tenaris has opened a new 25-hectare service center in Vista Alegre, located between Añelo and Neuquén City. The facility strengthens the company’s operational footprint in the Neuquén Basin and enhances its ability to support customers across the region.
The Vista Alegre base represents a $20 million USD investment and is designed to accommodate 250 employees. The site includes equipment storage and maintenance areas, laboratories, medical services, offices, a coiled tubing warehouse and parking for heavy equipment, serving as a central hub for fracturing and related services.
“Over the past six years, we have complemented our supply of tubular technology and related services for the oil and gas industry with the development of hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing services, a unique business unit within the global Tenaris network,” said Andrea Previtali, Tenaris President for the Southern Cone.
Through a $110 million USD investment program, Tenaris is incorporating a third hydraulic fracturing set and an additional coiled tubing unit , both expected to become operational this year. The third frac set will be equipped with Dynamic Gas Blending technology , enabling the substitution of more than 80% of diesel with natural gas.
