The contract scope covers the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of the subsea production systems and subsea pipelines.

The FPSO will be deployed in the Búzios field offshore Brazil.

The agreement has a fixed period of three years and includes an option to extend the contract for two additional years.

Siemens Energy’s scope of supply for the project will include pressure and temperature sensors for the subsea production system, electrical distribution equipment including flying leads, umbilical terminations, connectors for subsea modules and multi-leg harness assemblies.

Maersk Drilling has been awarded a two-well contract extension by Karoon Energy, while TechnipFMC will carry out engineering, procurement, construction and installation of subsea trees, flexible pipes and umbilicals.

The FPSO will be the first application of MODEC's “M350 Hull”.

The development will include 140 km of rigid risers and flowlines, 40 km of umbilicals and 19 trees, as well as associated subsea equipment, in water depths of approximately 2050 m.

The development will consist of 19 subsea wells tied back to a FPSO located at the Bacalhau field in the Brazilian pre-salt.

The company has found its feet in the Brazilian offshore market, winning a number of agreements with global EPC contractors.

The contract scope includes engineering, fabrication, installation and pre-commissioning of 80 km of rigid risers and flowlines for the steel lazy wave production system, 60 km of flexible service lines, 50 km of umbilicals and associated infrastructure, as well as installation of FPSO mooring lines and hook-up.
