France-based pipe manufacturer Vallourec has announced that it will supply 25,000 mt of line pipe for US-based oil and gas exploration company LLOG Exploration Offshore for the latter’s Salamanca deep-water project located on the US coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
The pipes will be produced at Vallourec’s state-of-the-art Jeceaba mill in Brazil.
The Salamanca development is based on a floating production unit created from the refurbishment of a previously decommissioned production facility. Repurposing a decommissioned production unit ensures a 70 percent reduction in emissions compared to the construction of a new unit.
