HOUSTON– Petrobras has awarded McDermott an EPCI contract for a rigid pipeline project associated with the Rota 3 gas export system.
The contract covers the implementation of the ultra-shallow segment of the new Rota 3 gas export pipeline. The scope of work includes design and detailed engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of 6 mi (10 km) of a 24-in. rigid concrete coated pipeline from the already installed shallow-water segment of this new pipeline system to the shore. It includes a horizontal directional drill, tie-in spools, and pre-commissioning of the 6-mi (10-km) pipeline.
Overall project management and engineering will be performed by McDermott’s team in Rio de Janeiro, with support from the Houston team.
Rota 3 is a 220-mi (355-km) rigid pipeline project by Petrobras that is part of its Santos basin presalt gas offloading and transportation system.
The project is split into three subsea segments and one onshore segment. McDermott has been awarded the third subsea segment: an ultra-shallow pipelay connecting the shallow segment to the onshore segment at Maricá City, 62 mi (100 km) north of Rio de Janeiro.
