TechnipFMC has been awarded two subsea contracts by Petrobras for flexible pipe to be deployed in the Campos and Santos basins.
The first award is a substantial contract thought to be worth between US$250mn and US$500mn to design, engineer, and manufacture flexible gas injection risers. This high-technology solution will sustain reservoir pressure and enhance production efficiency through high-capacity gas reinjection in pre-salt formations in the Santos Basin.
The second award, which followed a competitive tender, is a ‘significant’ (US$75mn-US$250mn) contract to design, engineer, and manufacture flexible risers and flowlines for deployment on assets in the Campos Basin.
Jonathan Landes, president, Subsea at TechnipFMC, commented, “As Petrobras unlocks Brazil’s energy resources, we are proud to provide technology and expertise that support some of their most technically challenging projects. TechnipFMC is a subsea innovation leader and continues to advance flexible technology to support new projects and enhance value for its clients.”
Manufacturing will be carried out at TechnipFMC’s flexibles manufacturing facility in Açu, Brazil.
TechnipFMC has been involved in Brazil for nearly 70 years, and has extensive in-country operations, delivering advanced technological solutions while supporting the development of local economies.
In March, the company was awarded a major integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (iEPCI) contract by Shell worth more than US$1bn for its Gato do Mato greenfield development offshore Brazil, utilising Subsea 2.0 configure-to-order (CTO) subsea production systems.
In September 2024, TechnipFMC was awarded two subsea contracts by Petrobras for the pre-salt fields offshore Brazil, the first todesign, engineer, and manufacture riser flexible pipe and the second to design, engineer, and manufacture subsea production systems to be deployed on the Atapu 2, Sepia 2, and Roncador projects.
