HOUSTON --Petrobras has awarded $52-million contract for two subsea gas gathering manifolds for the offshore Brazil Plangas project to FMC Technologies Inc.
Each of the two manifolds will have eight 10-in (254-mm) inlets and two 16-in (406 mm) outlets operated by multiplexed subsea control systems. Once installed, the manifolds will permit gas exports from Roncador, Albacora East, and other Campos basin fields starting in 2008, Petrobras says.
The work will be engineered and manufactured at FMC's Rio de Janeiro facility.
