Vallourec Secures a New Order with Petrobras

Vallourec, a world leader in premium seamless tubular solutions, has announced a new order for SUBMAGNÉTICO FREE FLOW®, its Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) solution designed to prevent inorganic scaling in production strings. This new order signed with the Brazilian operator, Petrobras, covers the production and installation of more than 30 units to be delivered and installed in Brazil’s offshore pre-salt fields.

SUBMAGNÉTICO FREE FLOW is a breakthrough technology that applies a magnetic field on the extracted fluid and reduces the formation of inorganic scaling on the production string. With this solution, operators are expected to achieve significant cost reduction via reduced well cleaning interventions, reduced consumption of scale inhibitors, and a significant reduction in production downtime.

Co-developed with Petrobras, SUBMAGNÉTICO FREE FLOW has successfully passed all qualification tests, including vibration, shock, and pressure tests, as well as API and ISO connection tests.

Jérôme Favre, Senior Vice President of OCTG, Services and Accessories, declared: “This new order confirms the growing adoption of SUBMAGNÉTICO FREE FLOW® as a standard anti-scaling technology for offshore production. It also demonstrates Vallourec’s ability to co-develop smart, safe, and cost-effective solutions tailored to our clients’ most critical challenges.”
