Vallourec wins “major” contract from TotalEnergies for Kaminho deepwater project offshore Angola

(WO) – Following a call for tender, Vallourec has been awarded a contract by TotalEnergies to supply almost 5,000 tonnes of OCTG solutions and associated services for the Kaminho deepwater project on Block 20, 100 km offshore Angola.

On this project, Vallourec will supply its range of VAM connections and use CLEANWELL, its more environmentally friendly, dope-free solution. The group will also provide its offshore expertise via VAM Field Service, as well as its Tubular Management Services (TMS) offering. This involves managing the inspection and preparation of tubes before they leave for the drilling platform, and on their return to the storage area.

The products will be manufactured at Vallourec plants in France, Brazil, and Indonesia, taking advantage of the group’s strategic premium production hubs. More broadly in Africa, Vallourec is supporting its customer with a complete range of premium products and services, including its CLEANWELL solution in Nigeria, Gabon, Congo, and Mozambique.

Vallourec has also worked with TotalEnergies in its exploration and appraisal campaigns, such as in Namibia, a region with strong development potential, where the group has already supplied almost 5,000 tonnes of tubes and connections.
