It is with pleasure that Vallourec is
announcing the VAM© qualification of
Hunting Energy Services Ltd.
The addition of Hunting Energy Services
within the existing VAM© licensee network
will enrich the current offering by adding further capacity and capability to
VAM© users across the region.
The newly awarded license will allow Hunting’s Fordoun
site to cut the latest VAM© threads on OCTG pipes & accessories.
This complements and further reinforces the
relationship between the two companies as Hunting already provides tubular
storage & inspection services to Vallourec to support its North Sea
activity.
The capability to cut and repair threads in
high volume at the same location will directly benefit Vallourec’s customers,
improving service levels while lessening environmental impact through reduced
transportation.
Alexandre Valdelièvre, managing director of Vallourec North Sea, said: ‘’With the recent closure of Vallourec’s
facility in Bridge of Don announced end of August, this award supports
Vallourec’s commitment to the North Sea region.
"North Sea is about advanced
premium products/services solutions and new energies. This totally fits our
strategy; it’s our cover page. We are here to stay but in a reinvented
format."
