🚀 Exciting News from our R&D Team! 🚀 We have successfully completed the testing of the 7" 29.00# L80 VAM® 21 connection according to the TWCCEP protocol at 350°C (662°F). Previously, VAM® 21 was qualified at this temperature for the most common production casing sizes, including 9 5/8", 10 3/4", and 13 3/8". This recent test on the 7" size marks a significant milestone, demonstrating that the VAM® 21 design is also suitable for high-temperature geothermal applications on smaller sizes, which are essential for lower flow wells or closed-loop wells. Feel free to contact our teams for further details. #ResearchAndDevelopment #geothermal #hightemperature

Vallourec to sell Düsseldorf-Rath site (Germany) for €155 million The group announces today that it has entered into an agreement to sell the substantial majority of its Düsseldorf-Rath production site to CTP, Europe’s largest publicly-listed industrial property developer. This transaction involves the sale of the approximately 900,000 m2 property for €155 million. This property was the site of Vallourec’s primary tube production operations in Germany, which was closed at the end of 2023 as part of the New Vallourec plan. The transaction is expected to close around year-end 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including CTP’s receipt of the waiver of the City’s preemption right. #Vallourec #NewVallourec #CTP #Germany #Dusseldorf #IndustrialSite

💡 High-temperature geothermal projects deliver substantially greater energy output per well, contributing to the reduction of the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). Building on its technology validation for temperatures up to 350°C (662°F), Vallourec has now evaluated L80 materials at temperatures up to 500°C (932°F). This research offers groundbreaking insights into material behavior under extreme conditions, ensuring long-term well integrity. The findings were presented on December 3rd at the SPE Thermal Well Integrity and Production Symposium in Calgary, Canada. These results are instrumental in advancing the development of materials and connections capable of meeting the rigorous demands of higher-temperature geothermal wells.
