Tenaris will supply Gran Tierra Energy with 7,000 tons of casing and tubing to drill 14 wells in the country’s Eastern Basin over a three-year period.
Gran Tierra began its exploratory campaign in August at the Bocachico 01 and Charapa Nore 01 wells.
It is the first company in Ecuador to use the easy-to-install TenarisHydril Wedge 461® connection, which is ideal for drilling applications that require extreme torque capacity against rotation in their deviated wells.
Tenaris will also provide the customer with TXP® BTC and TenarisHydril Blue® connections. Gran Tierra has also adopted Rig Direct® services to optimize its supply chain with solutions such as RunReady™, which includes the preparation of pipes to be run in the well; Pipe Tracer®, a unique pipe identification solution that offers access to product information via mobile devices; rig returns, a service in which customers only pay for the pipes they use; and field services support.
