Tenaris played a key role in Brava Energia’s successful completion of its first two casing drilling projects in the Alto do Rodrigues Field, located in Brazil’s Potiguar Basin. With Tenaris’s technical support, two vertical wells were drilled to a depth of approximately 380 meters without incidents, cutting both operational time and costs compared to traditional drilling methods.
This milestone also marked Brazil’s first use of casing drilling for production casing. The method streamlines operations by combining drilling and casing installation into a single run, significantly boosting efficiency.
Tenaris provided a complete package of products and services through its Rig Direct offering. Its Technical Sales and Brava Energia’s Drilling Engineering teams collaborated closely from the planning phase, conducting detailed torque, drag, and fatigue simulations to ensure project feasibility. The operation used TXP BTC connections, proven in similar projects in Argentina, and pipe lengths were customized to match rig requirements.
