After learning about the full range of technical and logistics services associated with Rig Direct™, BTA Oil Producers decided to give Tenaris a try for its production casing needs with TenarisXP® Buttress connections.

October 12, 2016

BTA Oil Producers is an independent exploration and production company that currently operates in the Permian Basin, drilling approximately 20 wells per year. Looking for answers to some questions about hydrogen embrittlement and sulfide stress cracking, the company reached out to Tenaris at the new Midland service center.

During a presentation by the technical sales team about solutions for sulfide stress cracking, Tenaris also introduced Rig Direct™, a service model that integrates the supply of pipes and accessories from the mill to the rig, focusing on process and operational efficiency. BTA has been using the traditional distribution model for its supply of casing, however, after learning about the full range of technical and logistics services associated with Rig Direct™, BTA decided to give Tenaris a try for its production casing needs with TenarisXP® Buttress connections.

In addition to the technical consulting services, BTA also received complete pipe management services as part of the Rig Direct™ package. This included DemandSync™, net invoicing, inventory management and PipeTracer™. All of these services were performed at Tenaris's new Midland service center, which is strategically located in the heart of the Permian Basin and is managed through a single, global ISO 9001- certified quality management system.

As part of Rig Direct™, Tenaris also provided a team of certified field service specialists to ensure the correct practices were followed and the products were properly installed and used at the rig site.

By utilizing Rig Direct™, Tenaris was able to minimize the risk of failures, ensure zero non-productive time and provide BTA with a sound peace of mind.
