Vallourec has started deliveries to its customer Eavor™ for its European geothermal project located in Geretsried, Bavaria (Germany).
Geretsried is the first commercial project for which Eavor™ is using its Eavor-Loop™ technology, a unique system operating in a completely closed circuit with no fracking or GHG emissions and no brine production or aquifer contamination.
In total, four loops (eight wells) will be drilled to a depth of 4,500 meters. Vallourec will produce thick-walled, high-collapse tubular solutions, as well as its iconic range of VAM® premium connections, including the VAM® 21 and other integral connections, from 9 5/8″ to 22″ outside diameters.
The Group will also provide services such as tubular preparation (cleaning, inspection, measuring and drifting, applying running compound) and just-in-time delivery thanks to local storage capacity, presenting an additional environmental benefit at the drilling site.
