The Ship Ônix Starts Seagems’ First EPCI Project, Marking a New Phase for the Company

Rio de Janeiro, May 17, 2024 – Seagems has completed the loading of the vessel Ônix after 14 days of work at the Port of Rio de Janeiro and an additional 12 days of anchorage. The ship, which began loading on April 21, is now heading to the Atlanta field, operated by Enauta in the Santos Basin, to initiate the EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation) project, undertaken in partnership with shareholder Sapura Energy. This is Seagems’ first project after the rebranding of the company, previously known as Sapura.

The contract, signed in 2022, provides for the interconnection of a complete subsea system (flexible pipes, umbilicals, and equipment), lasting three years and concluding in 2025. The project, developed end-to-end by the Seagems and Sapura Energy partnership, includes everything from the development of strategic engineering solutions, procurement of materials, to handling and installation of pipes with the Brazilian company’s vessels – this final phase begins now.

The ship has been loaded with 16.3 km of flexible lines and 12.1 km of umbilicals, along with 170 tons of MPP (Multi Phase Pumps), used to increase pressure and transport oil from the well to the platform – a groundbreaking installation for Seagems.

A Milestone for Seagems

Fillipe Ferreira, Operations Director at Seagems, expressed his enthusiasm: “For us, this operation is a milestone and a source of pride. For the first time, we are participating in the entire oil exploration operation, from project engineering, procurement of lines and umbilicals, laying, connection to the platform, to ensuring the first oil for Enauta, expected in August this year. I believe this is just a first step for Seagems to take on projects of this scale with other oil companies in Brazil and around the world.”

The project involves the demobilization of the existing EPS (Early Production System) in the Atlanta field and the redirection of the flexible pipes and umbilicals to the new FPSO Atlanta, in addition to the connection of three new wells. The FPSO Atlanta alone will have the capacity to produce 50,000 barrels of oil per day, doubling Enauta’s oil production in the Santos field.

Challenges and Innovations in the Atlanta Field

Seagems, specialized in practical solutions for subsea engineering, operates both above and below the seas, offering solutions to a wide range of offshore demands in the energy industries. Its fleet includes six vessels equipped with 12 remotely operated underwater vehicles. The company is present in the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Rio das Ostras, Macaé, Vitória, and Vienna. It is 100% Brazilian, the result of a joint venture between two leading multinationals in their markets: Sapura Energy Behard and Paratus Energy Services Ltd.

Seagems, with its expertise and cutting-edge technology, is prepared to face the challenges of the EPCI project in the Atlanta field. The operation, which includes the installation of flexible lines, umbilicals, and MPPs, is crucial for ensuring the efficiency and continuity of oil production in the Santos Basin. Seagems’ experience in subsea engineering and its execution capabilities in complex environments are key factors for the project’s success.

Promising Future for Seagems

With the advancement of this project, Seagems positions itself as a leader in the subsea solutions market, ready to take on new challenges and expand its operations. The company is committed to offering innovative and efficient solutions, contributing to the sustainable development of the energy industry in Brazil and worldwide.

The EPCI project in the Atlanta field represents not only a milestone in Seagems’ history but also a significant step in the evolution of offshore oil exploration in Brazil. With completion scheduled for 2025, Seagems continues to demonstrate its ability to execute complex and large-scale projects, solidifying its position as a strategic partner for the world’s largest oil companies.


Seagems continues to stand out in the energy industry by combining technological innovation and expertise in subsea engineering to face the challenges of offshore oil exploration. With a forward-looking vision, the company is ready to lead new projects and contribute to the sustainable growth of the energy sector.
