TechnipFMC’s Deep Blue Pipelay Vessel Is Embarking on an Important Subsea Project Launch at Peregrino Phase 2 in the Campos Basin off the Coast of Brazil.

TechnipFMC received an engineering, procurement, construction and installation contract from Equinor, then Statoil, for the Peregrino Phase II Project in September 2017. The contract was for the execution of the subsea pipeline connection for the new production platform at the Peregrino Phase II Project.

The Peregrino oil field is located in licenses BM-C-7 and BM-C-47, approximately 85 km offshore Brazil, in the Campos Basin, in water depths of 100m. The field is Equinor’s largest international operation outside Norway, and Phase II involves adding a third fixed wellhead platform to the field, extending its main productive life and adding 273 million in recoverable reserves.

The Peregrino field consists of two fixed head platforms and a floating production storage and offloading unit. A third fixed head platform is being added to the field.

TechnipFMC said on Tuesday that the Deep Blue would install rigid and flexible pipes, as well as PLET structures, at depths of 100 meters, 85 km from the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

The Deep Blue will participate in an installation phase that will occur in two campaigns. Mobilizations for these will take place at the Evanton Spoolbase in northern Scotland. Another vessel from TechnipFMC’s fleet will also participate in the project at a later date.

As a deepwater construction and laying vessel, the Deep Blue uses reel lay and jetting methods to install all types of risers and flowlines and can install umbilicals and flexible lines from carousels below deck.

According to the latest AIS data, the Deep Blue is currently anchored off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
