TenarisBlue® TenarisBlue® is the new pre-
mium connection technolo-
gy from Tenaris. Designed
for use in today’s increasing-
ly complex and environmen-
tally sensitive oil and gas
production activities, its all-
round excellent performance
characteristics add value
through increasing safety,
lowering trouble time and
reducing risk.
TenarisBlue® sets a new
standard for high perfor-
mance premium connection
technology.
• Robust design for the
most demanding field con-
ditions, including high
compression and high
torque applications.
• Optimum sealing capacity
for maximum pressure
integrity under combined
loading conditions, especial-
ly in high pressure gas and
oil wells. Proprietary dope-
free option for enhanced
environmental protection
and operational efficiency.
• Fast and easy running with
low risk of galling or cross-
threading.
• Suitable for carbon steel
or CRA, in sizes from
2 3/8" to 13 5/8".

Our multicultural R&D team 40.50

from Italy, Argentina and 31.50

Japan set out to design a 22.50
connection which would de- 13.50
liver superior performance

and excellent running charac-
teristics. Their goal was to
set the new standard for pre-
mium connections across a
wide range of applications
for the complex service condi-
tions encountered in today’s
advanced drilling practices.

The design team shares a de-
tailed knowledge of premium
connection technology resul-
ting from the development, use
and evaluation of our wide
range of proprietary premium
connections. They utilize our
integrated network of speciali-
zed laboratories, each fully
equipped with state-of-the-art
facilities for Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) and Full-Scale
Testing (FST) evaluation of
OCTG connections under
the most demanding loading
conditions.
The result is TenarisBlue®, a
premium connection which
amply justifies the ambition
of its creators and its role as
the first premium connection
to bear the Tenaris name.
Optimal thread geometry
• Crest-to-root contact thread.
• Reduced flank-to-flank gap.
• Optimized loading and stab-
bing flank angles.
Dope pressure control system for
non dope-free applications
• Special dope pocket design.
• Reduced seal standoff.
• Thread gap for dope clearance.
Enhanced seal design
• Sphere-cone metal-to-metal
configuration.
• Optimized radius and seal
taper.
• Reduced sliding distance.
• Negative Torque Shoulder

Notes 1. TenarisBlue® connection pressure ratings are equal to the API pipe body rating for minimum internal yield and collapse. 2. Joint Yield Strengths are calculated by multiplying the
material minimum yield strength by the pipe body section or the coupling critical cross-section (regular size) as appropriate.
