French tubing manufacturer Vallourec has inked a five-year contract with Equinor in Brazil.
The deal covers the turnkey supply of premium tubes and connections, accessories, and services for the Bacalhau and Raia fields developed in the pre-salt and the Peregrino field in the post-salt.
The contract also includes digital solutions as well as Vallourec’s full set of tubular management services, which are expected to increase the efficiencies of onshore and offshore operations and reduce the total cost of ownership for Equinor.
Vallourec’s hub in Brazil, comprising the Barreiro and Jeceaba production plants and the integrated services centre in Macae, will handle the contract. The first deliveries are expected in the second half of 2025.
