(offshore-energy.biz) France’s tubular solutions provider Vallourec has signed what is described to be a “significant” contract with Brazil’s state-owned energy giant Petrobras for the supply of oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and accessories for the development of Sepia 2 and Atapu 2 projects in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil.
According to Vallolurec, the deal includes the delivery of high-end steel grades such as High Collapse, Sour Service, and Super Martensitic, and premium connections, such as VAM 21, and VAM SLIJ-3, designed to handle the technical challenges of Brazil’s deepwater pre-salt fields.
Vallourec will also provide tubular management services, VAM field service, and digital solutions from its Brazilian facilities. All products will be supplied from the company’s Brazilian plants, including large-diameter seamless tubes, for which production capabilities have been bolstered by recent investments, said Vallourec. The contract covers deliveries of up to 25,000 tons over three years.
