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.
For over a decade, Tenaris has partnered with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), a US-based research organization dedicated to advancing reliable, affordable and resilient energy solutions worldwide.
Tenaris's Rig Direct® brand, launched a decade ago to offer a new approach to serving the US market, has evolved into a comprehensive, digitally integrated service model that boosts operational efficiency, lowers costs, and improves reliability and well integrity.
Tenaris has delivered a 2 7/8" BlueCoil® string for Cudd Pressure Control, marking the first time the company’s proprietary heat-treated coiled tubing is manufactured in this larger diameter to meet the demands of the US shale market.
