Tenaris has been awarded the supply of line pipe, casing, coating and related services for the third phase of the Sakarya gas field project, operated by Turkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortakligi (TPAO). The development is located in ultra-deep waters of the Black Sea, about 170 km offshore at a water depth of 2,150 meters.
The contract includes the delivery of 22,700 tons of seamless pipes for flowlines and for a 62 km monoethylene glycol (MEG) pipeline, as well as 87,800 tons of welded pipes for a 180 km export pipeline.
The seamless pipes, produced at Tenaris’s Dalmine mill in Italy, will include anode pads, buckle arrestors, and TenarisShawcor three-layer polypropylene (3LPP) anticorrosion coating, applied at Tenaris’s coating facility in Villamarzana.
The welded portion of the contract will be produced at Tenaris’s Confab mill in Pindamonhangaba, Brazil, and will also feature TenarisShawcor 3LPP anticorrosion coating and anode pads installation. A 1.2 km section of the export pipeline will include concrete weight coating for added stability.
In addition, Tenaris will supply 7,700 tons of line pipe for production risers, MEG risers, and the export pipeline, also produced at Dalmine and coated with TenarisShawcor 3LPP technology in Villamarzana.
Both contracts will be executed under Tenaris’s One Line® service model, which integrates comprehensive pipeline solutions with TenarisShawcor coating services.
“Tenaris’s One Line® model has evolved into a flexible and comprehensive portfolio of services, delivering reliable solutions for fast-track, dynamic, and technically complex projects such as Sakarya - Phase 3. Our deep understanding of the field’s characteristics, built throughout the previous phases, adds unique value to this development,” said Davide Mengoli, Tenaris Commercial Senior Director Pipelines & Services Mediterranean, Caspian, Middle East & Asia.
For the offshore drilling activity, Tenaris has been awarded a contract to supply 10,000 tons of casing. Part of the order will be delivered with Dopeless® technology, Tenaris’s multifunctional coating applied at the mill that reduces handling and preparation during storage and running while ensuring consistent, high-performance lubrication for offshore operations.
“We are pleased to see our continued collaboration with TPAO on their most demanding offshore project, as well as their trust in our solutions,” said Olga Volkova, Tenaris Commercial Senior Director for Eastern Europe and the Caspian Sea. “Our Dopeless® technology is widely adopted in offshore operations for its efficiency and safety benefits. Pipes are supplied ready to run and, since there is no need to enter the red zone of the rig floor to apply running compound, Dopeless® technology makes operations safer and more efficient while minimizing the environmental impact of operations”.
