French company Vallourec, a provider of tubular solutions, has secured a significant contract with Allseas to supply line pipes for the Búzios 10 offshore project. This initiative is part of the Búzios field, one of the world’s largest deepwater fields, located off the coast of Rio de Janeiro and operated by Petrobras.

Under the agreement, Vallourec will deliver approximately 18,000 tons of seamless premium carbon steel line pipes for risers and flowlines. The contract also includes an optional supply of nearly 5,000 tons. Additionally, Vallourec’s Pipe Navigator, a digital platform providing access to real-time project documentation, data, and analysis, will support the initiative.

All production will take place at Vallourec’s facility in Jeceaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This contract highlights the company’s expertise in meeting the technical demands of complex offshore projects.

Philippe Guillemot, Vallourec’s Chairman and CEO, stated: “This contract reinforces our strategic positioning in Brazil, one of our key markets for complex offshore projects. It also serves as legacy to our ability to deliver premium tubular solutions, fully manufactured in Brazil. This contract also validates the investment strategy implemented over the past three years to enhance our industrial performance and meet the most demanding requirements of our customers.”

The Búzios field is poised for significant growth, with plans for five additional production units to begin operations by 2028, boosting the region’s output. This contract underscores Vallourec’s role in supporting major energy projects while advancing its operational capabilities in Brazil.
