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.
Tenaris invested more than $10M in developing Thor® 115 in 2018, a new steel alloy for tubulars with improved resistance to steam oxidation, longer material life and superior creep behavior.
Eni and Tenaris have presented the results of the first testing of premium connections performed in the tubular sector for Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) applications at the Offshore Mediterranean Conference and Exhibition (OMC) in Ravenna, Italy, held September 28-30. Massimo Lanna, Tenaris Technical Sales Regional Director for Europe, CIS and Sub Saharan Africa, shares how working in close collaboration with customers like Eni can help advance the energy transition.
Tenaris is expanding its portfolio with the TN 80EY, a new proprietary seamless steel grade, qualified for NACE Region 3 applications. The new grade was developed with an improved burst compared to the L80-ICY, offering a cost-competitive alternative to the API T95 steel grade.
