(WO) — Vallourec has been awarded a second major contract by TotalEnergies to supply casing, tubing, and associated accessories for the drilling of 48 wells under the Associated Gas Upstream Project 2 (AGUP2)—a key component of Iraq’s Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP).
The GGIP, operated by TotalEnergies in partnership with Basra Oil Company and QatarEnergy, is designed to capture and process associated gas from southern Iraq’s oil fields to reduce flaring, boost domestic energy supply, and support the nation’s low-carbon transition.
Under this latest award, Vallourec will deliver more than 30,000 tons of premium tubular solutions, including 3,000 tons of Premium Line Pipe products with anti-corrosion coating. The company previously supplied about 15,000 tons of casing and tubing equipped with its VAM® connections for the project’s first 30 wells.
The AGUP2 phase aims to process crude and associated gas from the Ratawi oil field, increasing production capacity to 210,000 bpd of oil and 154 MMscf/d of gas.
“This new phase confirms the strength of our long-standing partnership with TotalEnergies and our ability to deliver high-performance, reliable tubular solutions,” said Philippe Guillemot, Vallourec’s Chairman and CEO.
“We are proud to continue supporting TotalEnergies in this flagship project that contributes to Iraq’s energy development and sustainability goals.”
The GGIP includes four integrated components: the recovery of flared gas from three southern oil fields for power generation, redevelopment of the Ratawi field, construction of a 1-GWac solar power plant, and a seawater treatment facility to support oilfield operations.
