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.
A year after the start of its hydraulic fracturing operations in Argentina, Tenaris has surpassed 1,000 fractures in Vaca Muerta, record activity for the company, in the world's second largest reservoir for shale gas and one of the world’s quickest growing shale play.
Twelve representatives from major oil and gas operators in Vaca Muerta - the world's second largest shale deposit located in Argentina - visited Tenaris’s Rig Direct® Academy in Veracruz, Mexico, the company’s training and testing rig, for exclusive trials of TenarisHydril Wedge Series 400™.
Experts from Tenaris’s product technology team took part in the 2022 ASME Pressure Vessels & Piping (PVP) Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. ASME PVP is a recognized international technical forum with representatives from government institutions, end users, researchers and manufacturers from more than 40 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Americas and the Oceania islands, gathering to share and exchange know-how about the PVP engineering innovations and emerging technologies.
