Vallourec wins pipe supply contract for Prinos carbon storage project offshore Greece

French steel tube maker Vallourec has won a contract to supply pipes for the Prinos carbon storage project offshore Greece, developed by Energean's subsidiary EnEarth. The deal covers tubular products for CO2 injection wells and associated infrastructure. This is a key supply chain step for the project, which aims to store CO2 in depleted offshore reservoirs in the North Aegean Sea. The Prinos project is one of the first large-scale carbon storage initiatives in the Eastern Mediterranean. Securing pipe supply from a major manufacturer like Vallourec indicates the project is moving forward towards final investment decision and construction. For the carbon capture and storage sector, such contracts demonstrate that the supply chain is maturing. While details on the contract value and delivery timeline were not disclosed, the award signals progress for a project that could become a reference for regional CO2 storage. It also highlights the growing demand for specialized equipment needed to support climate goals.
