Subsea7 has confirmed the award of a major contract amendment by Petrobras for the development of the Mero 4 field located approximately 200 km off the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at 2200 m water depth in the pre-salt Santos basin. The award was announced in redacted form on 27 September 2023 and was recorded in backlog in the 3Q23.
The contract amendment scope includes engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and pre-commissioning of 76 km of rigid risers and flowlines for the steel lazy wave production system.
Project management and engineering will commence immediately at Subsea7’s offices in Rio de Janeiro and Paris. Fabrication of the pipelines will take place at Subsea7’s spoolbase at Ubu in the state of Espirito Santo and offshore operations are scheduled to be executed in 2025 and 2026.
Yann Cottart, Vice-President Brazil, said: “This contract builds on decades of experience executing major EPCI projects around the world and extends our portfolio of projects in Brazil. Subsea7 looks forward to continuing its strong, collaborative relationship with Petrobras as we work together to successfully deliver the Mero 4 project.”
