Locar intends to use its barge to launch the Route 3 pipelines that connect Comperj to the Santos Basin pre-salt

Comperj eagerly continues to run the project in Itaboraí – RJ, which, according to projections, will be the largest petrochemical company in the country. This statement is justified because the new phase of exploration of Brazilian oil requires this project to dispose of all present and future pre-salt production. Naturally, this new cycle of prosperity attracts the attention of many companies, one of which is Locar, which is about to take on a contract to launch pipelines on route 3, which will connect Comperj to the pre-salt Santos Basin.

It turns out that Locar invested around 140 million reais in a barge that launches pipelines in 2013 with the intention of providing services for launching and supplying the national demand, even in Latin America in several hydrographic works. Well, in 2014 the crisis arrived and with it, the termination of several contracts, including Comperj, but now everything is favorable. It got a contract with Sapura Energy Brasil for the Sergipe Thermoelectric works under CELSE management, in addition to talking with a Malaysian company.

It is worth mentioning that Locar is the only company with this type of vessel in Brazil and specialists say that it will actually be contracted for this project and for others. Remembering that it will “outsource to an outsourced company” from Petrobras, although the state-owned company has not yet approved the bidding, the two companies that are in the final stretch are  Sapura and McDermott, Locar must provide services to one of them, regardless of which one wins.
