Thanks to autonomous robotics, IoT devices, cloud technology and AI, Tenaris is transforming its production system into a connected factory that continuously adjusts and self-optimizes.
Our R&D Centers are located in Campana, Argentina; Toronto, Canada; Veracruz, Mexico, and Orkanger, Norway.
Located at our Tamsa mill in Veracruz, Mexico, this nearly 109,000 sq-ft training area allows customers to witness how Tenaris products perform in different applications, and serves as a space to develop and validate our new product technologies. We also use our in-house rig to train our field service specialists, who work to ensure customers' rig operations are safe and efficient.
In standard operations thread compounds are applied manually in the field, but Dopeless® technology is a dry, multifunctional coating applied at the mill that enhances safety and efficiency at the rig while minimizing the environmental footprint.
Tenaris will host a series of technical and industry-focused panel discussions at ROG.e 2026 (Rio Oil & Gas Expo and Conference), one of the leading oil and gas events in Latin America, taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
At the Artificial Lift Conference & Exhibition 2026 (ALCE 2026), Tenaris will showcase technologies and engineering capabilities focused on enhancing reliability, extending equipment life and supporting higher production rates in demanding rod-lift applications.
Dario Códega and Patricia Barrios from Tenaris’s technical team presented two papers at the SPE Latin American and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference (LACPEC) in Rio de Janeiro in June 2026, drawing on 3.4 million meters drilled and 3,100 strings installed.
