Tenaris, a global manufacturer and supplier of steel pipes and relates services for the energy industry, has used its presence at ADIPEC 2024 to introduce WISer, a suite of digital solutions designed to enhance well integrity, safety, efficiency and reliability.
As one of the world’s leading energy events, there could hardly be a better stage to reveal new solutions that can help the sector deal with its most pressing challenges. As such, WISer becomes the latest addition to the Rig Direct service package and builds on the company’s renowned on-site field assistance.
The pipe-by-pipe traceability enabled by PipeTracer technology and the 24/7 support provided from its remote monitoring centre, WISer includes two digital solutions that maximise the lifecycle of pipe strings.
This includes the iRun Casing cloud-based tool that provides real-time monitoring of casing installation to minimise the risk of lost lateral length and production. It also helps to prevent costly accessibility issues caused by fatigues damage, buckling, over-torque or stuck pipes.
There is also the Torque turn monitoring system. Tenaris field service experts collect and analyse real-time torque data at the well using advanced equipment to improve connection make-up reliability, reduce errors, and enhance the overall integrity of the assembly.
“With WISer, we support our customers' drilling projects during pipe running operations, improving decision-making and enhancing the consistency and reliability of well construction by combining our extensive field service experience with real-time data analytics and remote monitoring,” commented Lucas Pigliacampo, Tenaris Vice President Oil & Gas Technologies. “A key addition to our Rig Direct mill-to-well service model, WISer reflects our ability to continually adapt and innovate.”
Decarbonisation demand
Aside from providing a platform for the industry to discover the latest solutions entering the market, ADIPEC was also a forum for debate and progressing ideas that will change the face of the sector for years to come.
Unsurprisingly, decarbonisation was a key topic of discussion of the conference in Abu Dhabi as oil and gas leaders strive to strike the balance between meeting barrel demands and lower emissions output.
Tenaris strode into the discourse, with Gabriel Podskubka, the company’s Chief Operating Officer, participating in the ‘Optimising Operations to Advance Decarbonisation: A Digital and Cultural Shift’ panel session. Here, the panellists agreed that while advanced technologies, data-driven insights and process improvements can contribute to reducing emissions across the value chain, to achieve meaningful decarbonisation, deeper cultural shifts and cross-industry collaboration is required.
“At Tenaris, we are true believers that sustainability and decarbonization support our business strategy” Podskubka contributed. “These are key priorities for our leadership, our employees, our communities, and our customers. Today, our carbon emissions intensity is the lowest in our sector, and we are investing to ensure it remains so in the future. At Tenaris, we see decarbonisation not only as the right thing to do, but as a sound business decision. It’s an opportunity for us to continue leading in another dimension of our business.
“You need a vision, measurable targets and a strong leadership that is willing to convert this vision into reality. After communicating our decarbonisation commitment, we focused on defining KPIs for measuring emissions of our processes at every site. We now communicate both internally and externally on our progress and initiatives to reduce our CO2 emissions intensity per ton of steel by 30% by 2030.”
