The French company Vallourec signed a contract with Badr El Din Petroleum Company (BAPETCO), a subsidiary of Shell, to supply tubular solutions (OCTG) to up to 70 gas wells of an onshore project in the Western Desert of Egypt.

The senior vice president of Vallourec’s Development and Innovation Department, Didier Hornet, said that Vollourec’s local presence, through it’s Egyptian office, has in recent years been key to understanding its customers’ expectations.

The contact’s value has not yet been disclosed.
