Tenaris Canada Achieves Localized Production of New Steel Grade for Oil and Gas Wells

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Steel pipe manufacturer Tenaris has announced that it has achieved localized production of its proprietary TN 95EY steel grade at its Sault Ste. Marie industrial hub in Ontario, Canada. This steel grade was developed for oil and gas well operations in high-pressure, high-temperature and sour service environments, and is primarily used in the Montney and Duvernay unconventional oil and gas producing regions of western Canada. This production introduction involved adjustments to existing steel pipe manufacturing processes, product inspection, and improvements to the individual pipe quality traceability system.

The production introduction of TN 95EY was jointly implemented by Tenaris Canada's manufacturing operations, metallurgy, information technology and laboratory testing teams. Each team adjusted existing production processes according to the processing requirements of the new steel grade and established corresponding pipe inspection and traceability procedures, enabling the product to be integrated into the production system of the Sault Ste. Marie industrial hub. The facility has both seamless and welded steel pipe manufacturing capabilities.

In May 2026, Tenaris announced a total investment of CAD 306 million jointly implemented with the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario for the modernization and expansion of manufacturing facilities, involving the upgrading of local steel pipe production capacity. Since 2020, the company's cumulative investment in its Canadian operations has exceeded CAD 355 million. This localized production of TN 95EY is carried out leveraging the existing industrial hub, providing Canadian energy operators with steel pipe materials suitable for complex well conditions.
