Petrobras has contracted the SLB OneSubsea joint venture to supply and install subsea production systems and associated services for two presalt deepwater projects in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil.
For the second-phase development of the Atapu and Sepia fields, SLB OneSubsea will provide Petrobras-standard configured, presalt vertical trees, subsea distribution units, subsea control systems and pipeline systems, followed by installation, commissioning and life-of-field services.
Much of the technology and equipment to be deployed, including the trees/control systems, will be produced and serviced at SLB OneSubsea’s facilities in Curitiba, Brazil.
SLB OneSubsea CEO Mads Hjelmelandsaid, “Leveraging our proven, locally developed technology platform facilitates on-time delivery and maximizes local content from our Brazilian manufacturing and service facilities.”
Petrobras is adding the new FPSOs P-84 and P-85 to Atapu and Sepia, respectively. Both will have an oil production capacity of 225,000 bbl/d and gas processing capacity of 10 MMcm/d.
