Fossil Energy – SDSVs
Brazilian engineering company Oceanica Engenharia has secured a series of long-term contracts with Petrobras, Brazil’s state-owned oil and gas company, with a combined value of approximately $736 million.
Under the agreements, the shallow-diving support vessels (SDSVs) Oceanicasub IV, V, VII, and IX will continue providing subsea services for Petrobras.
These services include the deployment of work-class and electric remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), as well as diving operations for inspection, maintenance, and subsea intervention activities.
In addition, Petrobras has contracted the Oceanicasub VI vessel, which will further expand Oceanica’s operational capacity to deliver subsea services across Petrobras’ offshore assets.
The contract for the remotely operated vehicle support vessel (RSV) Oceanicasub VIII has also been renewed, strengthening the ongoing collaboration between the two companies in subsea operations.
All contracts have a duration of four years, with operations scheduled to begin in the first half of 2027 and continue through 2031.
These agreements reinforce Oceanica’s position as a key provider of subsea engineering and operational services in Brazil’s offshore energy sector and underline the company’s long-standing partnership with Petrobras.
