Vallourec has been awarded a second time by TotalEnergies to supply casing, tubing, and associated accessories for the drilling of 48 wells for the Associated Gas Upsteam Project 2 (AGUP2) Project, one of the main components of the Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP) operated by TotalEnergies in Iraq, alongside its partners Basra Oil Co. and Qatar Energy.
AGUP2 aims to process oil and associated gas from the Ratawi oil field to increase production capacity to 210 000 bpd of oil and 154 million ft3/d of gas while striving to eliminate routine flaring and contributing to Iraq’s low-carbon energy transition.
The GGIP is designed to enhance the development of Iraq’s natural resources to improve the country’s electricity supply. This 4-in-1 multi-energy project comprises the recovery of gas that is currently flared at three oil fields in southern Iraq to supply electric power plants, the redevelopment of the Ratawi oil field, the construction of a 1 GWac (1.25GWp) solar farm and of a seawater treatment plant.
Vallourec had already supplied, for the drilling of the first 30 wells, around 15 000 t of casing and tubing with VAM® connections. For this new phase, it will deliver more than 30 000 t of premium tubular solutions, including approximately 3000 t of Premium Line Pipe products with anti-corrosion coating.
Group Chairman and CEO Philippe Guillemot commented: “We are proud to continue our collaboration with TotalEnergies on this flagship project in Iraq. Since the beginning of the project, Vallourec has been fully committed to supporting TotalEnergies. This new phase confirms the strength of our long-standing partnership and our ability to deliver high-performance, reliable tubular solutions.”
