In line with its ethos of innovation , Tejas Tubular is set to launch the RFID-tagged Workstring – a groundbreaking advancement that promises enhanced traceability and operational efficiency . Dimitris Katsareas , R & D Director , briefly outlines : “ In the next step , this digital information and more specifically the wear and tear history of each individual tube , is processed in real time by an algorithm , only to assist the end-user at the rig site in deciding if this tube can safely be used in the next well or if it poses a risk to the workover operations . We call it the Workover String Management System .”
In a competitive landscape , Tejas Tubular distinguishes itself through a focus on quality and customer-centricity . “ Our products offer certainty , peace of mind , and cost savings to our customers ,” Max continues to share .

The investments touched every aspect of our operations , starting with four new front-end loaders to improve shipping and receiving times , two new state of the art CNC lathes to service the semi-premium connection market , and additional investments in our heat treat line and NDT testing lines . These strategies resulted in an overall capacity increase of 28 percent .”
