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.

Nexans will design, manufacture and supply 44 km of steel tube umbilicals and accessories for the Bacalhau ultra-deepwater oilfield development project.

The survey will cover approximately 17 000 line km and work as an extension of the existing TGS Pelotas 2D.

The survey is located in the western portion of the Santos Basin and works as a northwest extension of the existing TGS Santos 3D, covering approximately 5000 km2.

Scheduled for completion in late 2024, the P-78 FPSO will be customised for deployment in Brazil’s prolific Buzios field.
