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.
Tenaris is advancing the future of well construction through technologies that improve safety, efficiency, reliability, and operational performance.
From next-generation premium connections and Dopeless® technology to integrated services and digital solutions, our innovations help operators address increasingly complex drilling challenges while improving execution across the well construction process.
By combining technology leadership with real-world operational value, Tenaris continues to shape the future of OCTG performance and well integrity.
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.
Building on the technological success of the TenarisHydril Blue® and Wedge™ Series connections, the White™ connection combines advanced engineering and manufacturing innovation in a connection designed for the future of well construction. The connection is designed to perform in the most complex applications, including deepwater, HP/HT, horizontal and extended-reach wells where reliability and operational consistency are critical.
Tenaris hosted a Geothermal Workshop in Dalmine, Italy, on Oct. 7, bringing together customers, technology partners, industry experts, and representatives from Tenaris’s technical sales, R&D, product engineering and commercial teams, driving collaboration across the geothermal value chain. Participants from ten countries across Europe, Asia, North and South America gathered to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of the geothermal sector.
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.
