(Brazil) - Socotherm Brazil, a joint venture with Tenaris, is to undertake pipe coating for PDET Profundo, a Petrobras-operated deepwater field development in 1,800 m water depth.

The contract scope involves applying Socotherm's Wetisokote, solid propylene coating to 61 km of 18-in. pipe, to be manufactured by the Confab-Tenaris pipe mill, and on 27 km of pipes supplied by Corus in the UK.

The $15 million coating job will be managed from the new marine base of UBU in Brazil, opened earlier this month.
