Our missionis to deliver value to our customers throughproduct development, manufacturing excellenceand supply chain management. We seek tominimize risk for our customers and help themreduce costs, increase flexibility and employees around the world arecommitted to continuous improvement bysharing knowledge across a single our integrated global network ofmanufacturing, R&D and service facilities, wework with our customers to meet their needs forthe timely supply of high-performance productsin increasingly complex operating rods CATALOGUEINTRODUCTIONT enarisFully Integrated Manufacturing Process Tenaris manufactures Sucker rods in a fully integrated industrial production centers strategically located in three regions, we meetthe growing demand of our customers all over the the production of steel as a raw material tothe threading of each Sucker rod, the entireprocess takes place in our own manufacturingcenters.

2 Located in Villa Mercedes (Argentina),Pindamonhangaba (Brazil), Veracruz (Mexico),Campina (Romania) and Conroe (USA), thesestate-of-the-art plants are equipped tomanufacture Tenaris s full line AlphaRod Series,HolloRod Series, BlueRod , X-Torque, HighStrength and API Sucker rods . Tenaris s Sucker rods and accessories are designedto efficiently respond to challenging operatingconditions, including high loads, corrosiveenvironments and applications where control oftubing/rod friction is required. Manufactured to the most stringent qualitystandards, all product lines comply with ISO9001 and API Q1 specifications. A single qualitypolicy and the enforcement of a rigorous qualitymanagement system ensure homogeneousquality across all facilities. Quality controlprocedures include statistical process controls,daily process/product audits and Sucker rodstraceability individual rod is straightened, while itsentire surface is inspected by Non DestructiveTesting (NDT) equipment that can detect anypotential transversal or longitudinal defects inaccordance with API criteria.

3 Internal ultrasonictests are also performed. Additionally, all Tenarissucker rods undergo a shot peening process thatcompresses their external surface to improvefatigue October 2011 Tenarisbegan producing rods in Mexico, becoming the onlylocal manufacturer of this type of Value for CustomersBuilding on its global reach and vast field experience, Tenaris offers a wide range of services that add value through customized supply,operational, administrative and technical solutions for your s experienced field service specialists arealways on hand to assess our customers operationalneeds. The services they provide include:STRING DESIGN OPTIMIZATIONWith vast experience in even the most challengingoil well operational environments, Tenaris is ableto provide full assistance in identifying theoptimum string design for each particularapplication. Using advanced simulation software,our experts can help you with both beam andprogressive cavity pumping rod string DELIVERY AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENTT hanks to our global network of customerservice centers, combined with our logisticsexpertise, we can offer just in-time delivery ofmaterials and work closely with our customers toprovide full inventory management SUPERVISIONOne of the main causes behind Sucker rodfailures is poorly performed running.

4 Hydraulictongs used at the well site are not equipped tomonitor that the required torque values areapplied to each connection. Therefore,pressurelosses, inadequate calibration and operationalmistakes can lead to premature respond to these needs, Tenaris offers aspecialized running service that includes:Trained personnel for the supervision of handling,thread cleaning, make-up and torque controlactivities, ensuring compliance with best of advanced hydraulic power tongsfor optimal make-up operation and torquecontrol control in problematic wells with highfailure IN THE FIELDT enaris offers specialized running rods CATALOGUEINTRODUCTIONT enarisTECHNICAL ASSISTANCE During installation, Tenaris s field engineers are trained to assist customers and address anytechnical doubts that could arise in the provides training services on productselection, string design, material handling andother aspects of the installation and operation ofsucker rods .

5 Classroom or in-field training sessionsare customized to match the level of experience,knowledge and specific needs of each ANALYSIS In our state-of-the-art laboratories, we analyzethe mechanical and dimensional properties ofmaterials, as well as the corrosion effects onthem. The resulting data is used to effectivelydiagnose the cause of OPTIMIZATION SERVICE (MOS)Designed to improve Sucker rod performance andto reduce well interventions, our MOS is basedon an integral analysis of the problematic field orarea. This service includes a fully integratedapplication of all the services described above. Following the completion of field surveys,interviewing of key customers and statisticalanalysis of well intervention history, our expertswill propose detailed technical recommendations,covering material selection, string design andoperational practices, and assist with OPTIMIZATIONSERVICEFAILUREANALYSISTRAINI NGAFTER MARKET SERVICESFULLY INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING, PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT & LOGISTICSTECHNICALASSISTANCERUNNINGSUPER VISIONJUST IN TIMEDELIVERYINVENTORYMANAGEMENTSTRING DESIGNOPTIMIZATIONCUSTOMERC ustomized Services8 Tenaris offers field-proven products designed for the most challenging oil & gas Tenaris , our goal is to make sure that ourcustomers can take full advantage of the latestproduct technology to address their needs in thefield.

6 By sharing knowledge and resources acrossa global organization and leveraging ourspecialized R&D centers in Italy, Japan, Mexico,Brazil and Argentina, we are able to expand ourrange of product solutions to meet today sincreasingly demanding well conditions. Through the work carried out at the StructuralIntegrity, Metallurgy, Non Destructive Testingand other key departments of Tenaris s R&Dnetwork, new technologies are created forproduct design, manufacturing processes, surfacetreatment and quality control. This integratedapproach has allowed Tenaris to maintain itsleading position in product design and new technology developed by Tenaris isextensively tested. Over 45 years of fieldexperience endorse the performance of Tenaris sproducts and provide the basis for future R& Series, HolloRod Series andBlueRod Sucker rods are an example of ourcontinuous efforts in R&D and the high-endsolutions that derive from & Technology9 Sucker rods CATALOGUEINTRODUCTIONT enarisBLUEROD PREMIUM Sucker RODThe total capacity of the Sucker rod stringdepends mostly on the connection capacity.

7 Up to now, a high percentage ofconventional pumping failures were traceableto this part of the rods . BlueRod design,with a tapered trapezium thread profile andflank-to-flank contact, offers remarkableresistance for high loads, opening up a newfrontier for oil pumping SERIESThe AlphaRod Series was created toovercome more demanding requirementsand offer a solution to fatigue and corrosionfatigue problems. The new steel grades of the AlphaRod generation were specially designed to widelyexceed the performance of API and HS steelgrades under critical conditions. HOLLOROD SERIEST enaris R&D team developed the HolloRod Series, a technological breakthroughespecially designed to resist high-torsionloads. The HolloRod reduce connectionfailure, tubing wear, and backspin effect, andenables injection of chemical corrosioninhibitors or viscosity-reduction fluids downthe inside of the rod. In the last years, theuse of HolloRod was expanded to otherapplications like RP, deliquification, gas liftapplications, heavy oil production, paraffincontrol and special BREAKTHROUGHS10 Tenaris manufactures the industry s most comprehensive range of Sucker rods for demanding well conditions.
