Vallourec, a global leader in premium seamless tubular solutions in France, has won a contract with TechnipFMC to supply line pipes for the Orca project (formerly Gato do Mato) in the Santos Basin, operated by Shell Brasil.

The integrated deal covers more than 20,000 tons of subsea seamless premium carbon-steel line pipes for risers and flowlines, along with anti-corrosive and thermal insulated coating services.

Philippe Guillemot, Vallourec’s Chairman and CEO, said that the contract confirms the company's ability to handle complex offshore projects and demonstrates the value of its integrated local offering, especially since acquiring Thermotite do Brasil. The agreement strengthens Vallourec's industrial presence in the strategic Brazilian market.
