ABU DHABI - Tenaris announced that ADNOC has awarded it a long-term contract for the provision of tubulars and Rig Direct® services over the next five years, with a total value of $1.9 billion with the possibility of a two-year extension.

In order to better serve ADNOC, Tenaris will expand its footprint in Abu Dhabi by installing a premium threading facility and upgrading its Rig Direct Service Center. “This investment will generate direct and indirect local employment, in line with ADNOC’s In-Country Value Program. Tenaris has an extensive track record in sustaining a long-term presence in the communities where it operates, and we have the same commitment to the UAE and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi,” said Renwar Berzinji, vice president – commercial, Middle East Region.
