Vallourec, a global leader in high-performance seamless tubular solutions, has landed a significant contract to provide Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) to Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) for its upcoming drilling operations.
The multi-million-dollar deal, valued at over $130 million, will see Vallourec deliver advanced carbon steel OCTG products featuring premium connections and proprietary steel grades throughout 2025 and 2026. The company was chosen to supply the most technically demanding segment of KOC’s tender, which includes high-torque flush premium connections—engineered for optimal performance in challenging drilling environments.
With a longstanding presence in Kuwait, Vallourec has consistently served as a trusted supplier to KOC, providing tailored solutions for both onshore and offshore oil exploration and production. This new contract aligns with Kuwait’s strategic goal to ramp up oil output to 4 million barrels per day by 2035 and follows a competitive tender launched in September 2024 for deep-drilling equipment.
Commenting on the award, Philippe Guillemot, Chairman and CEO of Vallourec, said:
“We’re proud to deepen our partnership with KOC through this latest order. It highlights Vallourec’s technical expertise and ability to deliver reliable, high-performance tubular solutions at scale. As Kuwait pursues its ambitious energy goals, we remain committed to supporting KOC with our most advanced technologies.”
This agreement strengthens Vallourec’s role as a key contributor to the Middle East’s energy sector, offering world-class products that meet the rigorous standards of modern oilfield operations. It also underlines the company’s competitive edge in providing innovative solutions for complex drilling projects in the region and beyond.
