The Tender Concerns the Ultra-Shallow Stretch of Pipelines in Route 3 That Will Connect the Santos Basin to Comperj. The Big Moment Is Coming.
The COMPERJ has been receiving an unrelenting range of tenders to make the Brazilian oil machine run stronger. Each bidding stage represents a different type of service, and finding specialized companies for them is extremely difficult due to their engineering particularities. Many even find it strange and think that the works will not happen, but understand, it is not a question of yes or no, but when.
Another important tender currently at stake is the construction of the last 10km of submarine pipelines of route 3, which will connect COMPERJ to the pre-salt in the Santos Basin. This work is important for us to be able to transport all Brazilian production; otherwise, the production will be reduced and a lot of excess gas will be burned, and that is losing money, literally. See in the image below where the pipeline comes from.

Companies Competing in the Bidding
Three companies submitted proposals for the installation of the remaining pipelines that will connect the pre-salt to the Petrochemical Complex of Rio de Janeiro: Allseas, McDermott, and Sapura. It is worth mentioning that these were the only companies that presented expertise for construction in shallow, deep, and ultra-deep waters. Saipem, Subsea 7, and TechnipFMC were also invited to participate in the bidding but ended up withdrawing due to a lack of necessary expertise or the project not being economically viable.
So far, the last section installed is at Jaconé Beach, Rio de Janeiro, and the company that executed this last installation was Allseas. Last week, Petrobras announced the tender for the construction of the remaining utilities (UTR-3), the construction of the Pipe-hack, and a 345 kV transmission line and a substation. There are a series of projects within Comperj that will greatly boost the economy of Itaboraí and the cities belonging to Conlest.
