PARIS and HOUSTONPetrobras has awarded TechnipFMC an EPCI contract on behalf of the Libra consortium for the presalt Mero 2 project in the Santos basin offshore Brazil.

Water depth is 2,100 m (6,890 ft).

The work scope comprises engineering, procurement, construction, installation and pre-commissioning of the infield rigid riser and flowlines for production, including the water alternate gas wells; and installation and pre-commissioning of service flexible lines and steel tube umbilicals, plus towing and hook-up of the FPSO.

TechnipFMC plans to adopt synergies with its subsea EPCI work for Mero 1, using its own rigid and flexible lay vessels and its local facilities in Brazil, including a spoolbase, logistics base and other engineering capabilities.

Offshore construction is due to start in 2022.
