France's Vallourec has been awarded a second contract by TotalEnergies to supply casing, tubing, and associated accessories for the drilling of 48 wells under the Associated Gas Upstream Project 2 (AGUP2).
The project forms a key part of the Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP), operated by TotalEnergies in partnership with Basra Oil Company (BOC) and QatarEnergy.
The AGUP2 initiative aims to process oil and associated gas from the Ratawi [Artawi] oil field, increasing production capacity to 210,000 barrels of oil per day and 154 million standard cubic feet per day of gas. It also supports Iraq's goal of eliminating routine gas flaring and advancing a lower-carbon energy future.
The wider GGIP -- a flagship 4-in-1 energy development -- combines gas recovery from three southern oil fields to supply power plants, redevelopment of the Ratawi field, construction of a 1 GWac (1.25 GWp) solar farm, and a seawater treatment plant to support oil operations.
In the first phase, Vallourec delivered approximately 15,000 tonnes of casing and tubing for 30 wells. In this second phase, the company will supply over 30,000 tonnes of premium tubular products, including about 3,000 tonnes of Premium Line Pipe with anti-corrosion coating.
Group Chairman and CEO Philippe Guillemot (pictured) stated:
"We are proud to continue our collaboration with TotalEnergies on this flagship project in Iraq. Since the beginning, 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."
