Tenaris and Petrobras signed a contract for the supply of corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) pipes for offshore operations in Brazil. The contract will last for three years, strengthening the long-term relationship between the two companies.

The contract and service package will be fully managed by the Tenaris team in Brazil.

As part of the Rig Direct^® package, Petrobras will have access to PipeTracer^® technology, a digital solution that allows users to access technical specifications of products, execution manuals, and automated digital count creation, eliminating manual measurements, enhancing accuracy, and simplifying operations. To ensure well integrity, experienced field service specialists from Tenaris will support Petrobras on the platform.

Renato Catallini, president of Tenaris in Brazil, states that “this contract confirms our ability to provide a wide range of tubular solutions for our customers operating in very complex environments. Through strategic alliances like this with Alleima, along with our Rig Direct^® service model and the unmatched capabilities of our global supply network, Tenaris has become the most comprehensive supplier of solutions for complex offshore operations not only in Brazil but worldwide.”

“We are very pleased with the signing of this contract and the guarantee of a long-term supply agreement with Petrobras, through our partnership with Tenaris. Our OCTG pipes are perfect for this project, due to their high mechanical strength and excellent [MT1] corrosion resistance,” said Nigel Haworth, president of the Energy Business Unit at Alleima.
