Vallourec steals the show at OTC Brasil with its premium offshore solutions
From October 28 to 30, Vallourec South America participated in the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), one of the largest events in the Brazilian offshore industry, reaffirming our commitment to innovation and sustainability in the oil and gas market. During the event, more than 23,000 visitors from 53 countries attended the event, which became the epicenter of discussions about the future of energy, connecting Brazilian deepwater expertise with renewable energy.
At our booth, visitors, clients, and partners had the opportunity to explore our premium solutions currently present in major offshore operations in Brazil:
- Line Pipes with anti-corrosion and thermal coatings – a service developed by Vallourec Coating Solutions to extend the lifespan of the pipes and provide protection against external agents.
- SUBMAGNÉTICO FREE FLOW®, a solution developed by Vallourec that uses magnetic force to prevent scaling in oil well production columns, eliminating the need for acid injection for cleaning and avoiding production stoppages.
In addition to showcasing our technological innovations, we promoted an interactive activity using artificial intelligence. Visitors could choose an image representing the Company’s premium solutions and insert themselves into the scene, creatively and immersively capturing the moment – an innovative way to bring the public closer to the real-world applications of Vallourec technologies.
During the event, André Lacerda, Senior Vice President of Vallourec South America, emphasized the importance of the offshore market for the Vallourec Group and the investments made in recent years:
"Vallourec has a long history of dedication to the offshore market. In recent years, we have invested around one billion reais in equipment modernization and product development, with more than four thousand patents registered in Brazil. Today, our Brazilian plant represents over 50% of the Group’s global capacity and is responsible for Vallourec’s highest value-added products."
He also highlighted the achievements with key industry partners:
“We’ve had significant accomplishments with clients such as Petrobras, TechnipFMC, Subsea7, and Equinor, which demonstrates the market’s confidence in our technical capabilities and the talent of our teams. We remain committed to strengthening our presence in the region and offering increasingly integrated and sustainable solutions.”
Vallourec’s participation in OTC Brasil reinforces the Company’s role as a strategic partner in the energy market, contributing to the technological and sustainable development of the offshore industry in Brazil.
