The signed contracts reinforce Vallourec’s strategy to position itself as a reference supplier of technological solutions for the energy sector.
The company bets on the combination of innovation, high production capacity, and international presence to meet the demands of large global operators.
In addition, the adoption of digital solutions in the services offered increases operational efficiency and reduces operators’ costs, adding value to the partnerships established.

With these new contracts, Vallourec takes another step in consolidating its international operations, especially in regions with high energy demand.
The strategic operation in the United Arab Emirates and Iraq strengthens its positioning as a global leader in pipes and premium services for the oil and gas sector.
The company’s expectation is that, with the growth in exploration and production projects in technically challenging areas, the demand for advanced solutions, like those it offers, will remain high in the coming years.
