Petrobras and steel tube manufacturer Vallourec have signed a new contract that could mobilize up to US$ 1 billion. Announced this Thursday, the agreement aims to support the state-owned company’s maritime operations and reveals an important strategy for strengthening the local industry.

A Long-Term Agreement to Secure the Future of Operations

The contract signed between Petrobras and Vallourec ensures the supply of tubes and associated services. This order was designed to cover all the needs of the state-owned company’s offshore operations during the period of 2026 to 2029. The long-term partnership ensures predictability and security for the company’s projects.

Philippe Guillemot, CEO of Vallourec, stated that this contract illustrates the success of the company’s investment plan in the country. Thanks to this strategy, Vallourec was able to produce tubes locally that would have previously needed to be imported.
