Vallourec has secured a contract from Allseas to supply line pipes for the B煤zios 10 offshore project in Brazil.
The deal involves nearly 18,000 tonnes (t) of subsea seamless premium carbon steel line pipes, with an optional scope of almost 5,000t.
Located off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, the B煤zios field is among the world’s largest deep-water oil fields and a major part of Petrobras’ operations.
With five additional units expected to start by 2028, the field’s production is set to increase substantially.
The contract also incorporates Vallourec’s Pipe Navigator solution, a digital portal for instant access to contractual documentation, data and analysis of line pipe projects.
The production will take place at Vallourec’s facility in Jeceaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil, to ensure high local content and a reduced carbon footprint.
