Oceaneering International, Inc. announced that its Brazilian subsidiary, Marine Production Systems do Brasil LTDA (MPS), has won a contract from Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) to deliver ROV services offshore Brazil. The award follows a competitive tender process. The contract term is four years and operations are expected to begin in 2027.
Oceaneering will supply two work class ROVs and specialised tooling packages in addition to carrying out monitoring and positioning support operations offshore Brazil. The ROV systems will be deployed from AKOFS Offshore’s subsea engineering support vessel (SESV) Aker Wayfarer, which Petrobras has contracted for intervention, installation, and abandonment support scopes. The project will be executed by Oceaneering’s local team in Brazil.
Simao Silva, Brazil Country Manager, Oceaneering, stated: “We are pleased to build on our long-standing relationship with Petrobras through this award. It underscores our role as a trusted subsea services provider in Brazil and adds long-term visibility in an important deepwater market. We appreciate Petrobras’ confidence in our ability to deliver industry leading solutions for complex offshore operations.”
Oceaneering has supported Petrobras’ subsea engineering campaigns for more than a decade.
With nearly three decades of presence in Brazil, Oceaneering – through MPS – operates multiple facilities, including a centre for ROV, Survey, Subsea Intervention Tooling, and Engineered Solutions and an Onshore Remote Operations Center in Macaé, along with an umbilical manufacturing plant in Niterói.
