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 announced today that operations have started at its new service center in Suriname, built to support the GranMorgu project, the country’s first major offshore development, operated by TotalEnergies, with APA Corporation and Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. as partners. Located in Paramaribo, the center will provide integrated services for offshore operations, reinforcing Tenaris’s commitment to the development of Suriname’s energy sector.
As lateral lengths in unconventional wells continue to increase and drilling schedules become tighter, operators face growing challenges in running production casing to the bottom of the well. To address these challenges, Tenaris technical teams published and presented a technical paper at the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)/IADC Drilling Conference in March 2026, outlining best practices.
Tenaris’s coiled tubing facility has recently manufactured its longest and heaviest 2-5/8” OD string to date, delivering a new 88-metric-ton string for CUDD Pressure Control.
