Houston Chronicle reported that global steel pipe giant Tenaris commenced full operations Wednesday at its new USD 1.8 billion mill southwest of Houston in Bay City to start churning out piping for shale oil and gas wells in Texas, Oklahoma and beyond. The 1.2 million-square-foot mill will produce 600,000 tons of steel pipe a year. The specialized piping includes drill pipe used for drilling and creating wells; casing pipe that''s cemented into place to line the walls of the well and give it structural stability; and tubing pipe inserted into the well through which the oil and gas travels.
Tenaris, an Argentinian company with its roots in Italy, opted to build its most modern and robotically automated mill in Texas to serve the ongoing shale boom in West Texas'' Permian Basin and other regions.
Despite the automation that moves the steel from station to station to manufacturing the finished piping, the mill employs about 600 people in Bay City.
Tenaris was virtually unheard of in Texas until a decade ago when it bought St. Louis-based Maverick Tube Corp and Houston-based Hydril Co for a combined USD 5 billion. In short order, Tenaris grew from about 50 Houston employees to more than 2,000.
