Tenaris has inaugurated its first service center in Thailand in order to serve Chevron.
From Songkhla, an important harbor on the Gulf of Thailand, Tenaris will supply the major OCTG and Rig Direct services. Tenaris will provide 80,000-ton of chrome and carbon casing and tubing, along with TenarisHydril premium connections.
Rig Direct is Tenaris’s new service model that was developed to help make oil and gas operations more efficient by bringing quality and expertise directly to the rig site, applying the highest standards of health, safety and environment. As part of this service model, the Songhkla service center will provide complete pipe management services, including demand planning and inventory management, preparation for running offshore, PipeTracer pipe by pipe identification, and net invoicing. These services are designed to help Chevron improve operation reliability and efficiency while reducing the total cost of operation.
“The Tenaris facility in Songkhla will play an important role in supporting Chevron’s operations in the Gulf of Thailand and bring jobs and training opportunities for the local people in the province,” said Brad Middleton, Chevron Asia South managing director.
