Coiled Tubing
for Downhole Applications
Tenaris is the leading manufacturer of coiled tubing products worldwide.

At our two plants in Houston

we have been producing
the finest grades of downhole
tubing for the oil and gas
industry since 1991.
We offer a range of downhole
products tailored to the specific
demands of an expanding
spectrum of downhole coiled
tubing applications. From

builds the tubing string best
suited to ensure the success
of the project. A sampling
of products include REEL

string and FRee - internal
flash removed coiled tubing.

Quality
Todays oil and gas
industry requires that
coiled tubing meet the
most complete quality
standards. Tenaris
ensures the supply of
the highest quality coiled
tubing products through
its Quality Assurance
System, (which includes
ISO-9001 certification).

Setting Industry Standards

Tenaris has been setting industry records since it began producing coiled tubing.

Tenaris was the first in the

industry to produce 2-7/8,
3-1/2 and 4-1/2 OD coiled
tubing and the first in the
world certified to ISO 9001.
Tenaris has produced the
worlds heaviest as well as the
worlds longest continuously
milled coiled tubing work
strings.
The coiled tubing produced
by Tenaris is high frequency
induction welded while stainless steel products are laser
welded to ensure maximum
precision and durability.

Always under ISO 9000

product control, coiled tubing can be manufactured
in a variety of grades and
cleanliness levels with pressure ratings up to 15,000 psi.
The base tube of the laser
welded product is made
from lean duplex stainless
steel (HS-80 CRA) or carbon
steel in continuous coils.
The tube is then heat-treated,
spooled and hydrotested and
prepared for shipping.

HS-80 CRA
Tenaris produces HS-80 CRA a lean duplex, laser-welded product designed for
completion and hang off applications while providing excellent corrosion protection in CO2 and H2S environments.

Testing has been completed

in various environments
to determine the operating
environment in which this
product is suited.
Mechanical testing has also
been performed to ensure
this product can be run utilizing standard coiled tubing
handling and BOP equipment.

testing and tensile testing.

Additionally, this material
undergoes a ferrite count to
ensure the ferrite and austenite microstructure ratio is
within tolerance.

QA/QC Testing
HS-80 CRA undergoes the
same quality testing that
conventional coiled tubing undergoes. These tests
include crush, flare, hydro
