Tenaris Collaborates for Hydrogen-Ready Underground Gas Storage Wells
Key Ideas
- Tenaris partners with Snam and RINA to assess hydrogen capability in underground gas storage wells and define a hydrogen-ready design.
- A technical paper presented at the SPE Europe Energy Conference in Turin highlights the sealability of premium connections for hydrogen applications.
- The research aims to fill gaps in current standards, ensuring operational safety and integrity of wells in hydrogen-rich environments.
- Tenaris's THera™ portfolio offers specialized materials for hydrogen applications, supporting low carbon energy initiatives.
Tenaris has collaborated with Snam and RINA to evaluate the capability of Underground Gas Storage (UGS) wells to handle up to 100% hydrogen blends and establish a design suitable for hydrogen use. A two-year research project culminated in a technical paper unveiling a testing methodology for qualifying tubulars and connections in underground hydrogen storage wells. The paper, presented at the SPE Europe Energy Conference in Turin, underlines the efficacy of TenarisHydril Blue® Dopeless® premium connection for hydrogen scenarios. Giacomo Marcolin, a Tenaris technical sales manager, emphasized the importance of this research in enhancing operational safety in hydrogen-rich environments. The study aims to set a benchmark for future hydrogen-ready well construction and the application of tubulars in the energy sector. The qualified tubulars and connections are part of Tenaris's THera™ portfolio, specialized for hydrogen applications, contributing to the promotion of low carbon energy solutions.
