Tenaris has successfully finalized the purchase of Mattr's Pipe Coating Division, previously known as Shawcor, for a total of $182.6 million. This figure includes working capital and $16.9 million in cash.
Announced back on August 14, 2023, the acquisition has now received the green light from regulatory bodies in both Mexico and Norway.
Tenaris now adds nine new facilities located in Canada, Mexico, Norway, Indonesia, the UAE, and the USA, along with multiple mobile concrete plants to its operations. Additionally, it gains access to research and development centers in Canada and Norway, as well as a broad range of intellectual property and products.
Michele Della Briotta, Tenaris's President for Europe, who is set to manage the new Coating Profit Center, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition. He highlighted that it would lead to a portfolio of products, innovative services, and coating technologies. It will provide highly efficient and effective solutions to meet customer needs.
This purchase especially strengthens their ability to offer complete solutions for concrete weight, anti-corrosion, and flow assurance coatings, useful for pipelines on land and at sea.
Tenaris plans to integrate these new facilities, ensuring they meet the company's high global standards in quality, health, safety, and environmental practices.
Mattr's Pipe Coating Division
Mattr's Pipe Coating Division, known as Pipeline Performance Group (PPG), has recently been involved in several significant projects, collectively valued at over $200 million.
These include a commitment from Saipem for a deep-water development project in South America, where PPG will provide thermal insulation and anti-corrosion coating services. The project is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2023.
PPG has received two binding letters of intent and two purchase orders for insulation coating services on four Brazilian offshore projects. One of these projects will feature Shawcor’s proprietary ULTRA technology, marking its second deployment on offshore Brazilian pipelines. Coating activities for these projects are anticipated to conclude by the end of 2024.
PPG's Vice President & General Manager - Western Hemisphere South, Fernando Ulecia, emphasized the division's reputation in South America for delivering high-value, technically advanced, and quality pipe coating services. The division's performance on various critical projects in the region showcases their product quality and execution capabilities, especially in challenging environments. Kevin Reizer, Group President of PPG, noted that these commitments indicate a surge in offshore activities, particularly in deep-water projects. PPG's global network of coating and insulation facilities is strategically positioned to support this increase in activities, with project visibility extending well into 2024.
In addition to these developments, Shawcor completed the sale of its Socotherm Americas subsidiary in Argentina to Patagonia Shale Services. Since 1989, Socotherm Americas has been providing external and internal anti-corrosion coating and thermal insulation coating to the Argentine and regional pipeline and oilfield tubular markets

This summer, J.P. Morgan Securities highlighted Endeavor Energy Resources as the Midland Basin's standout in mergers and acquisitions, suggesting its value might approach $30 billion. Endeavor Energy Resources, a privately-owned entity in Midland focusing solely on its operations, has seen a significant uptick in production. It now boasts a production rate of 331,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), marking a 25% increase from the previous year.

The pipeline industry in the USA faced and still faces a range of regulatory challenges, including permitting delays, environmental requirements, and public opposition to pipeline projects. In recent years, pipeline projects like the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines had legal and regulatory obstacles that delayed or canceled their construction. Keystone XL Pipeline, proposed by TransCanada in 2008, aimed to transport crude oil from Canada (around Calgary and Edmonton) to refineries on the Gulf Coast (Port Arthur). The project faced opposition from environmental groups and indigenous communities, who argued that it would contribute to climate change and pose a risk to water resources. In 2015, President Obama rejected the project, citing concerns about its environmental impact. However, in 2017, President Trump revived the project, leading to further legal challenges. In June 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden officially canceled the project on his first day in office.

The renewable natural gas (RNG) industry in the United States is showing promising signs of growth. As of 2019, the U.S. consumed 261 billion cubic feet (BCF) of RNG, primarily utilized by independent power producers, electric utilities, and various commercial and industrial entities. However, this figure represents only a small fraction of its potential. Research indicates that the U.S. could theoretically produce up to 2,200 BCF of RNG through anaerobic digestion alone, which would equate to about 11% of daily national natural gas consumption.

Recently, the progress toward an energy transition is hitting a snag. Sales of electric vehicles are decelerating, and the growth in wind and solar power needs to be keeping pace with expectations. To make matters more challenging, electricity prices are climbing when they were expected to fall. Amidst these setbacks, the oil and gas sectors are proving resilient. According to BP's latest energy outlook, not only are these energy mainstays here to stay, but their demand is expected to remain relatively high even after reaching a peak. Interestingly, BP forecasts that oil demand will reach its zenith next year, marking a critical moment in energy consumption trends. This isn't the first time BP has projected a peak in oil demand. Back in 2019, their review anticipated a decline in demand growth, but the prediction fell flat. Instead, oil demand surged to unprecedented levels following the end of the global pandemic lockdowns, defying previous forecasts and underscoring the enduring dominance of traditional energy sources in the global market.
