France-based pipe manufacturer Vallourec has announced that it has signed a five-year supply agreement with US-based geothermal company Fervo Energy to support the scaled deployment of geothermal energy across the US. Under the agreement, Vallourec will supply tubular solutions to Fervo Energy over a five-year period, with the contract representing up to $800 million in potential revenue.
As part of the agreement, Vallourec will act as the exclusive supplier of US-manufactured tubular solutions and VAM® connections for high-temperature geothermal environments through its distribution partner Sooner, Inc. All products will be developed, manufactured, and tested within the US, creating a fully domestic supply chain for geothermal well infrastructure.
Supporting deployment of standardized geothermal units
The collaboration will support Fervo Energy’s strategy to deploy standardized geothermal units known as GeoBlocks, each with a capacity of 50 MW.
Securing long-term access to drilling components is expected to:
- Reduce supply chain risks,
- Improve project timelines,
- Provide cost certainty as operations scale.
The companies will also collaborate on engineering, field expertise, and risk mitigation, supported by Vallourec’s R&D center in Houston.
Strategic importance for energy transition
The partnership reflects growing momentum in geothermal energy as a reliable source of baseload power, particularly in supporting electrification and expanding data center demand.
By strengthening domestic manufacturing and supply chains, the agreement aims to enhance the scalability and reliability of geothermal energy deployment in the US.
