Fossil Energy – Petrobras
Petrobras disqualified the sole bidder in the tenders of two FPSO chartering contracts for its Sergipe deepwater (SEAP) project, in the Sergipe-Alagoas basin in the northeast region.
In a statement on its procurement website Petronect, the national oil company said that IFM Construções e Montagens Industriais did not meet the technical specifications outlined in the bidding documents.
The company has the right to file an appeal to contest Petrobras’ decision.
The disqualification did not come as a major surprise as the company had no previous experience in chartering FPSOs.
