Subsea 7 has won a significant contract from Petrobras via a competitive tender, for the development of the Buzios 11 field offshore Brazil
The company will be providing engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, and pre-commissioning of 112 km rigid risers and flowlines system for the field development.
While the company will be initiating project management and engineering work from its offices in Rio de Janeiro, Suresnes and Sutton, it will handle pipelines fabrication from its spoolbase in Brazil.
Located approximately 180 kms off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at 2,000 metres water depth in the pre-salt Santos basin, activities on the site will take place in 2027 and 2028.
