en.Wedoany.com Reported - French tubular manufacturer Vallourec has signed a five-year supply agreement with US geothermal developer Fervo Energy to support the large-scale deployment of geothermal energy in the United States. The agreement leverages technical expertise from the shale drilling sector to provide tubular solutions for geothermal wells.

Under the agreement, Vallourec will serve as Fervo's exclusive supplier, providing US-made tubulars and VAM connectors, with deliveries completed through distribution partner Sooner Inc. This initiative establishes a fully localized supply chain for geothermal well infrastructure, reducing reliance on external suppliers.

Central to the partnership is Vallourec's VAM high-torque semi-flush connector, originally developed for shale drilling and now adapted for the high-temperature environment of geothermal wells. By ensuring long-term access to domestically produced drilling and completion components, the agreement supports Fervo's strategy to deploy standardized 50 MW geothermal power units (GeoBlocks), effectively mitigating supply chain risks and shortening project timelines.

Fervo and Vallourec's technical teams will collaborate on field experience, risk mitigation, and engineering support, aided by Vallourec's R&D center in Houston.
