 Vallourec has been active and present in the region for decades and its dedicated VAM Caspian team recently celebrated its 15^th anniversary in Baku. We wish to highlight our involvement in the region and interact with current and potential customers, presenting our innovative solutions and comprehensive services.   

This exhibition will allow Vallourec to increase its visibility and customer networking. We would like to meet with key decision makers as well as with drilling & completion engineering teams in order to introduce them to our latest innovative solutions and services that should help them in their operative tasks and significantly reduce their costs and safety issues. Our aim is to meet our customer’s challenges and help them improve their efficiency at every level.
