Vallourec Announces Advanced Tubular Solutions For California Carbon Capture And Storage Facility Vallourec announced its successful support of California Resources Corporation’s pioneering carbon capture and storage development with Carbon TerraVault I (CTV I) at the Elk Hills Field in Kern County, California. As a key technology partner, Vallourec provided the advanced tubular solutions required to ensure safe, long-term carbon dioxide (CO2) storage for this milestone project.

First injection at CTV I is planned for spring 2026. At its maximum capacity, CTV I is expected to store up to 1.46 million metric tons (MT) of CO2 per year in the 26R reservoir, contributing 38 million MT of CO2 storage toward a total planned capacity of more than 350 million MT across the broader CTV portfolio. Vallourec’s advanced tubular technologies are central to the project’s well integrity and long-term storage performance. To support safe and reliable CO2 injection under demanding downhole conditions, Vallourec delivered premium VAM® 21 connections on corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) pipe qualified for the project’s stringent technical requirements. CLEANWELL® dope-free technology was deployed for the first time in an onshore CCS project, enabling cleaner, more sustainable running operations. The scope of supply included multiple string sizes and a full range of accessories tailored to project needs, supported by on-site VAM® Field Service to ensure flawless running and long-term well integrity.

Vallourec Obtains the Qualification of Its Hydrogen Storage Solution and Launches Commercialization Vallourec announced the official qualification of Delphy, its vertical gaseous hydrogen storage solution, by DNV. A world first, Delphy enables the storage of 1 to 100 tons of hydrogen under maximum safety conditions. Due to its minimal footprint, this vertical system - extending up to 100 meters underground - meets the challenge of complex and demanding industrial environments. It targets both green hydrogen producers and industrial players such as synthetic fuel producers (e-SAF, e-methanol), green ammonia producers, steelmakers, and refineries. The Delphy solution is the result of Vallourec's longstanding expertise and know-how and is based on proven technologies - tubes and connections - that have demonstrated excellent tightness and corrosion resistance. Launched in 2022, the project has involved around thirty researchers and experts, particularly in the areas of high-precision threading, heat treatment, and non-destructive testing. Since the inauguration of its demonstration in December 2023, Vallourec has followed a rigorous process of development, testing, and validation of its hydrogen storage technology, culminating in the qualification of Delphy. This qualification by recognized experts guarantees the solution's safety and reliability and marks a key milestone towards its commercialization. Vallourec has already signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs): one with H2V, for green hydrogen production and utilization projects, and one with NextChem Tech, for green hydrogen and green ammonia projects. Around fifty projects - in France and internationally - are currently under discussion, representing potential revenue of approximately EUR2 billion. This qualification comes at a time when demand for storage infrastructure is expected to grow, to adapt to the intermittent and flexible nature of green hydrogen production. Demand for the Delphy storage solution will be commenced by European regulations, which require storage solutions to pair with renewable electricity production, and by the French hydrogen strategy, which encourages green hydrogen producers to operate flexibly to contribute to power grid stability.
