Fossil Energy – Brazil
TechnipFMC has been awarded a subsea Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) contract by Petrobras for its Búzios 6 field, a greenfield development in the pre-salt area.
The contract covers flexible and rigid pipe, umbilicals, pipeline end terminals, rigid jumpers, umbilical termination assemblies and a mooring system.
Jonathan Landes, President, Subsea at TechnipFMC, commented: “We are excited to announce this award, which demonstrates the continuing strength of the subsea market in Brazil and our collaborative relationship with Petrobras. We used our deep understanding of the client’s needs to arrive at technological solutions developed specifically for the Buzios 6 field.”
“The flexible pipe, umbilicals and subsea structures, as well as some of the rigid pipe, will be manufactured in Brazil using skills and competencies the company has developed in-country, while minimizing the carbon footprint associated with transportation and installation. The project will also utilize our established and qualified Brazilian supply chain.”
