“Lula” – the second-largest oil field ever found – lies off the coast of Brazil. 8 billion barrels of crude oil will be extracted here in the near future from depths of up to 7 kilometres. That is only possible with premium seamless tubes of the highest quality. Vallourec & Sumitomo Tubos do Brasil has therefore purchased the best plant engineering available worldwide: The PQF ® process from SMS Meer. Staying on the safe side.

Quality unites – a fact that our customers and we discover time and again with every new project. Together we develop solutions that give our partners the com- petitive edge in their business. Thanks to this good cooperation, SMS Meer is a leading international company in heavy machinery and plant engineering.
