Shawcor’s pipe coating division has been awarded the contract with Vallourec S.A. The aim is to apply the  LotusFlo technology to offshore downhole production tubular designed for the Buzios oilfields.

The contract is the result of an extensive qualification program with Petrobras, one of the world’s largest oil and gas producers, and Vallourec, a worldwide premium tubular solutions provider.

Shawcor’s Channelview facility will execute the work. It is expected to begin during the fourth quarter of 2022 and to continue over a multi-year period on an as-needed basis.
