French Tubular Solutions Provider Vallourec Secures Contracts in the Middle East

French provider of tubular solutions Vallourec has recently announced securing a number of new contracts in the Middle East, further solidifying its presence in the region. These contracts are set to deliver oil country tubular goods (OCTG) to prominent players such as Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), CNOOC, and PetroChina in Iraq.

ADNOC Contract

ADNOC has placed a significant order with Vallourec for the supply of over 30,000 tons of carbon steel tubulars and associated accessories featuring VAM premium connections. This order is part of their ongoing long-term agreement (LTA) for the supply of OCTG. The agreement also includes an integrated suite of services such as VAM Field Service and value-added digital solutions to optimize installation and maintenance practices.

Production to meet the project’s requirements will take place across Vallourec’s industrial sites in Brazil, China, and Indonesia. This order is in line with ADNOC’s target of reaching 5 million barrels per day of production by 2027.

Laurent Dubedout, Senior Vice President OCTG, Services and Accessories at Vallourec, stated, “This contract reflects Vallourec’s commitment to supplying ADNOC with premium products and services, built on decades of operational excellence in the Middle East.”

Contracts in Iraq

In addition to the ADNOC contract, Vallourec has secured contracts to supply OCTG to support the drilling operations of CNOOC and PetroChina in Iraq. These contracts have a potential revenue of over $130 million and cover the supply of carbon steel and Super-13Cr steel OCTG products with VAM premium connections. Deliveries are scheduled throughout 2025 and 2026.

Philippe Guillemot, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of the Vallourec Group, mentioned, “With these awards, CNOOC and PetroChina have acknowledged Vallourec’s competitiveness and ability to supply significant quantities of premium material in a short time frame.”

Continued Success

Vallourec has been on a winning streak, securing contracts with various companies in the industry. These include a notice of award to supply OCTG to Algeria’s Sonatrach, a contract with Allseas for the supply of line pipes for a major deepwater field, and a contract with Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) for the supply of OCTG for drilling operations.

Most recently, Vallourec secured a large contract for the supply of OCTG for drilling operations in Qatar, representing over $50 million in potential revenue. This success comes on the heels of the acquisition of Thermotite do Brasil, a provider of thermal insulation pipe coating services for the offshore oil and gas industry, further expanding Vallourec’s portfolio.

With a proven track record of delivering high-quality products and services, Vallourec continues to be a trusted partner for major operators in the Middle East and beyond.
