Vallourec has signed a five-year supply agreement to support the geothermal projects of Fervo Energy in the US with premium tubular solutions.
Premium tubuluar solutions provider Vallourec has announced the signing of a five-year supply agreement with geothermal developer Fervo Energy . The deal support Fervo’s plan of scaling deployment of geothermal energy in the United States and represents up to USD 800 million in potential revenue for Vallourec.
Under the agreement, Vallourec will serve as Fervo’s exclusive supplier of U.S. manufactured tubular solutions and VAM® connections through its distribution partner Sooner, Inc., establishing a fully domestic supply chain for critical geothermal well infrastructure. All products will be developed, manufactured, and tested in the United States using Vallourec’s domestic industrial footprint.
The collaboration supports Fervo’s strategy to deploy repeatable, standardized 50-MW geothermal power generation units, termed “GeoBlocks.” Just a few days ago, Turboden announced the signing of a long-term agreement to supply Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) units of up to 1.7 GW capacity to Fervo. Considering early reports of the company pursuing public listing, Fervo appears to be building the foundations of a long-term geothermal development strategy that goes well beyond the ongoing work at the Cape Station site in Utah.
“Delivering next-generation geothermal at scale requires precision, reliability, and strong collaboration across the supply chain. Vallourec brings deep expertise in manufacturing low-carbon, high-performance tubular solutions that will play a critical role in enabling the rapid buildout of GeoBlocks at Cape Station and beyond,” said Tim Latimer, CEO of Fervo Energy.
“By securing U.S.-manufactured materials, this agreement strengthens our domestic supply chain, supports American manufacturing, and ensures critical infrastructure for geothermal is built here in the United States. It also helps ensure we can execute efficiently, with greater cost certainty, as we scale our operations and deliver more reliable, carbon-free geothermal power to the grid.”
Vallourec will provide a wide range of premium tubular solutions engineered for the temperature conditions of next-generation geothermal wells, including its VAM® high-torque semi-flush connections – originally developed for shale applications and now proven in geothermal environments. Fervo and Vallourec’s technical teams will collaborate closely to provide field-based expertise, risk mitigation, and engineering support, backed by Vallourec’s R&D Center in Houston.
The tubular solutions specialist has seen a pronounced increase of the demand for their products in recent years. According to the company statement, they have received triple the number of geothermal bookings in 2025 compared to the prior two-year average. Earlier this year, Vallourec signed a supply agreement as well with XGS Energy to support a 3-GW pipeline of geothermal projects, further strengthening their position in the next-generation geothermal landscape.
“This record contract for our New Energies segment demonstrates the full relevance of our strategy initiated in 2022. Our model of low-carbon, vertically integrated production hubs located close to our markets is paired with our strong focus on innovation and tailor-made technological solutions in making Vallourec a key strategic partner for customers like Fervo. We look forward to supporting the development of next-generation geothermal energy needed to power the rising electricity demands, in particular due to the hypergrowth of data centers in the United States of America,” added Philippe Guillemot, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Vallourec.
