Vallourec, a global leader in premium seamless tubular solutions in France, has won two contracts valued at more than US$130 million to provide Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) for CNOOC and PetroChina's drilling operations in Iraq.

The agreements cover the provision of carbon steel and Super-13Cr steel OCTG with VAM® premium connections. Deliveries are planned throughout 2025 and 2026 to support Iraq's increasing drilling activities and its goal to expand oil production capacity.

Philippe Guillemot, Vallourec's Chairman and CEO, said that these contracts reflect the company's competitiveness and ability to supply significant volumes of premium materials rapidly. The VAM® connections are recognized for their robustness and ease of use, making them a preferred standard in Iraqi and Middle Eastern operations.
