Vallourec Secures $800M Geothermal Supply Deal with Fervo Energy
Event summary
- Vallourec and Fervo Energy signed a five-year supply agreement worth up to $800 million to scale geothermal infrastructure in the U.S.
- Vallourec will be the exclusive supplier of U.S.-manufactured tubular solutions and VAM® connections for Fervo’s geothermal wells.
- The deal establishes a fully domestic supply chain for geothermal well infrastructure, reducing supply chain risk and improving project timelines.
- Vallourec’s products will be developed, manufactured, and tested in the U.S., supporting Fervo’s deployment of standardized 50 MW geothermal units (GeoBlocks).
- Geothermal investment has increased more than fivefold since 2022, with Vallourec’s geothermal product bookings tripling in 2025.
The big picture
The deal underscores the rapid growth of next-generation geothermal energy, driven by demand for baseload, carbon-free power. Vallourec’s vertically integrated domestic production model positions it as a key supplier in this emerging market, while Fervo’s standardized GeoBlocks approach aims to reduce geothermal development costs and risks. The agreement also highlights the strategic importance of securing domestic supply chains amid rising geothermal investment.
