Clov is a cluster of four oil and gas deposits, located in the northwestern sector of Angola’s naval unit at a depth of 1100 to 1400 meters. Vallourec will be equipped with 34 underwater wells about 15 thousand tons of pipe products and compounds. Clov is the fourth hearth of Angola’s shelf in Block 17, where Vallourec participates, along with Girassol and Pazflor.
In addition, two CLOV drilling plants use columns of rods and VALLOURC production compounds, which are designed for the most difficult drilling conditions, such as very curved or inclined wells. To ensure the transportation of hydrocarbons to FPSO and build the tower risers, VallouRC has already set a total of 28,500 tons or 200 km of seamless pipe with a coating.
The production unit will have a production capacity of 160 thousand barrels of oil per day and a capacity of about 1.8 million barrels. Dominic Richardot, head of the VallouRe pipe project, said that “we are proud that we have been chosen for the project of such a scale. VallouRC supplies for the Clov project go far beyond the framework of pipe products, and demonstrates our ability to provide genuine integrated solutions for the most demanding shelf projects. From the production of stray pipes, up to the method of installation, up to the installation, up to the installation. based on our experience of successful work in harsh environment or remote places.
