Under the deal, Vallourec will supply 15,000 tonnes of its patented VAM connections for the first 30 wells of the project.
The product will be supplied from its Brazilian and European plants.
Deliveries are expected to begin in 2024.
“We are delighted to have been chosen by TotalEnergies for the first stage of this flagship project in Iraq,” said Group Chairman and CEO Philippe Guillemot.
