What is Dopeless® Technology?
Dopeless® technology is a dry, multifunctional coating applied to TenarisHydril premium connections in the mill, avoiding the use of thread compounds.
• The coating is applied in a fully automatic process, assuring that the exact amount of the lubricant required by each connection is distributed in a controlled and uniform way on its surface.
• The process is carried out on dedicated production lines at Tenaris mills and facilities on four continents.
• With Dopeless® technology, the use of contaminating thread compounds, grease and cleaning solvents is no longer required at the rig or yard for pipe storage and running operations.
• The technology is supported by a global services network.

A Perfect Match• The risks involved when running OCTG connections
made from Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRAs) are far
greater than with standard carbon material.
• Specifically, the material has a greater tendency to
gall and cause problems when making-up the
connections.
• The result of galling can range from slower running
rate & high number of rejections to more serious
effects, like leaking connections.
• Dopeless® coating is applied industrially in the mill,
assuring complete adherence to the steel substrate
both in pin and box. This prevents hot spots of non-
lubricated zones where galling is prone to appear
when using liquid or greasy lubricants.
Tenaris has decided to market all its CRA with Dopeless® Technology

Improved Operational Performance (cont.)
Simple Preparation for Well Delivery
• Cleaning of pin, box, protectors and doping activities are avoided – important impact in general and even more so in environments where dope freezes due to low temperatures.
• Allows for direct and simple inspection in racks.
Easier Management of Rig Returns
• Less cleaning; less handling; cleaner protectors
• Pipes always ready to be run or stored.
Reduced Connection Repair
• Less joints to repair due to improved anti-galling properties.
Dopeless® Technology – Global Oil & Gas South East Europe & Mediterranean / September 2016 12
Health and Safety Benefits
Dopeless® technology makes rig workplaces safer. Less operations on the pipe leads to lower potential for injuries.
Safer workplace
• Less movement for cleaning and inspection process
• Less man-working hours
• Less movements related to rejected pipes
• Cleaner workplace
According to OHSAS 18001:2007, the elimination of the task is the first action, in the hierarchy level, in order to reduce and control the risk.
Dopeless® Technology – Global Oil & Gas South East Europe & Mediterranean / September 2016 13
Environmental Benefits
Dopeless® technology reduces environmental footprint.
Operators can be assured of compliance with zero-discharge policies in environmentally sensitive areas.
No thread compoundsNo thread compound, grease, oil or any other additive is released throughout the life cycle of the connection.
No water required nor wastedNo high-pressure cleaning is needed.
No cleaning solvents No cleaning solvents, soaps, chemicals are required.
No contaminated thread protectors The protector is clean, making protector recycling simpler and more cost-effective.
Dopeless® Technology – Global Oil & Gas South East Europe & Mediterranean / September 2016 14
Improved Well Productivity
Minimized Formation Damage
• Dope exuded inwards and outwards of the connection during make-up, can reach the formation, originating a damage and reducing permeability.
• Dopeless® technology prevents the damage caused by pipe dope in the formation (no dope no damage).
Sand Screens Clogging
• Avoids sand screens clogging that can occur when thread compound is used.
Better Downhole Operations• No drilling fluid contamination
• No contamination in the tubing/liner
Dopeless® technology prevents formation damage after pipe dope, improves downhole operations and reduces mud contamination.
Dopeless® Technology – Global Oil & Gas South East Europe & Mediterranean / September 2016 15

Featured cases
PA41 is the first well where Energean Oil & Gas, an E&P company with excellent HSE record, used TenarisHydril Dopeless ® Technology to secure the 12-1/4’’ hole section with 9 5/8’’ casing string in Greece.
TenarisHydril Dopeless ® Technology has been used in an environmentally sensitive area, such as the North Aegean Sea, and next to traditional tourist destinations, such as the Island of Thasos.
The use of TenarisHydril Dopeless ® technology reduced the chances of discharging potentially contaminating substances in the well. The technology also prevented the use of fresh water and chemicals to clean up connections or remove storage compounds prior to installation.
Operator: Energean Oil and Gas
Location: Mediterranean, North Aegean sea Greece
