American Company Strengthens Collaboration With Brazilian Oil And Gas Giant With Contracts Worth Up To US$ 183 Million For Steel Pipe Supply
Oceaneering, a technology company from the United States, has expanded its partnership with Petrobras, securing two contracts that represent expected net revenue between US$ 120 million and US$ 183 million for the supply of steel pipes, according to Offshore Energy website.
The Manufactured Products segment of Oceaneering has secured two contracts with Petrobras, considered significant, for the supply of up to 362 kilometers of steel pipes and thermoplastic electro-hydraulic umbilicals, as well as associated subsea distribution hardware, intended for offshore projects in Brazil.
