Summary · why it matters

Vallourec has secured the entire carbon-steel line pipe and external coating scope for Petrobras's Sepia 2 offshore development in Brazil's Santos Basin, covering roughly 130 kilometers of rigid risers and flowlines. The contract, awarded by Subsea7, represents more than 15,000 tonnes of carbon-steel seamless line pipe designed for highly corrosive environments, with Vallourec also applying thermal insulation coating through one integrated offer. Vallourec shares rose around 6% on the announcement. The pipes will be manufactured at Vallourec's Jeceaba plant in Minas Gerais, while the thermal insulation coating will be applied at its Serra facility in Espírito Santo. Sepia 2 sits around 280 kilometers off the Brazilian coast in ultra-deep water, with 15 wells connected to a new floating production, storage and offloading vessel at depths of roughly 2,170 meters. No financial value was disclosed, but the order adds to recent offshore wins including Petrobras-linked projects at Atapu and Búzios, and follows a 2025 agreement with Petrobras that could generate up to $1 billion of revenue from offshore OCTG products and services between 2026 and 2029.
