Omni Táxi Aéreo, an affiliate of Omni Helicopters International (OHI) Group, says that it has been selected by Equinor Brazil to provide helicopter services for their offshore activities at the Bacalhau field, located in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil.
The basin, currently under full development, will host one of the largest FPSOs in the world, with a production capacity of up to 220,000 barrels of oil per day.
Operations will be conducted from Omni Táxi Aéreo’s base at Jacarepaguá Airport in Rio de Janeiro. Omni will deploy three helicopters to fulfil this contract: a heavy helicopter model, the Sikorsky S92; and two super-medium aircraft, the Leonardo AW189 and Airbus H175 models.
Omni says that it is the only company in Brazil operating the AW189 and H175 models.
