France’s energy giant TotalEnergies has awarded compatriot Vallourec a contract to deliver over 16,000 tons of tubular products for a gas field in Azerbaijan.

The contract was announced for the Absheron gas field located in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea and will see Vallourec supply oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and line pipe solutions.

For the OCTG scope, Vallourec said it would supply premium pipes equipped with VAM premium connections, while the line pipe scope comprises around 159 kilometers of line pipe delivered with an anticorrosion coating for both onshore and offshore applications.

The package also includes a range of accessories and the company's dope-free solution CLEANWELL.

Situated some 100 kilometers southeast of Baku and in around 500 meters of water, the Absheron field is being developed to produce up to 6 billion cubic meters per annum (BCMA) of gas and 47,000 barrels per day of condensate.

The gas will be both supplied to the domestic market in Azerbaijan and exported.
