Meudon (France), April 28, 2025 – Vallourec, a world leader in premium seamless tubular solutions, has secured a major contract to supply Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) for the drilling operations of Kuwait Oil Company (KOC). This new contract represents over $130 million in potential revenue.

This agreement includes the supply of carbon steel OCTG products with premium connections and proprietary steel grades, to be delivered in 2025 and 2026.
