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; Dalmine, Italy and Veracruz, Mexico.
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.
Lucas Pigliacampo, our Oil & Gas Technologies Vice President, shares news about Tenaris technology, teamwork and milestone events on his LinkedIn channel. Find out more about how we're working as a team to transform the pipe industry.
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.
More than two decades ago, Tenaris achieved a milestone in the energy industry by successfully conducting the first commercial trial of Dopeless® technology in the North Sea on July 15, 2003.
A 1MUSD investment in a new solar photovoltaics (PV) power generation project has paved the way for the installation of 2,246 monocrystalline silicon PV panels across the OCTG and automotive component center facilities located in Tenaris’s mill in Qingdao, China, covering approximately 17,000 square meters. The initiative, with a capacity of 1.28 MW, is expected to generate around 1.36 million kWh of electricity annually, helping to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 850 tons each year, replacing the carbon content of the local grid with clean energy generated by the solar panels.
For Oriana Palencia, life at Tenaris has been a journey of professional growth and personal fulfillment. Hailing from Venezuela, the mechanical engineer with a degree from the University of Zulia found her way to Tenaris in Argentina in 2017, and since then, she has been making big strides in the world of steel manufacturing.
