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 has invested $8 million USD ($11 million CAD) to improve safety and advance automation in Canada. This investment, part of an ongoing $72.5 million USD ($100 million CAD) plan for industrial and automation improvements initiated in 2024.
Tenaris will present initial findings from a study conducted in collaboration with IGI Poseidon at the 17th OMC Med Energy Conference, held April on 8-10 in Ravenna, Italy.
The TenarisHydril TBG1™ connection has successfully completed its first field deployment in Alberta, Canada. With an average running speed of 35 joints per hour, 104 joints were run with zero rejects and no breakouts.
