Schlumberger Announced the Award to Subsea Integration Alliance. Offshore Construction Activities Will Begin in 2022 at the Bacalhau Field, from Equinor

Schlumberger announced the award to Subsea Integration Alliance of a large contract from Equinor for its project at the Bacalhau Field in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin. The scope of the contract covers the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of subsea production systems (SPS) and subsea pipelines (SURF).

The development will include 19 trees as well as associated subsea equipment, including subsea wellheads, subsea controls, and connection systems, and a complete workover riser. The SURF scope includes rigid risers, flowlines, and umbilicals.

The team from Subsea Integration Alliance, composed of Subsea 7 and OneSubsea, a Schlumberger company, established during the front-end engineering design phase, will now transition to the complete EPCI phase. Project management and detailed engineering in the field operated by Equinor will take place in Rio de Janeiro. Offshore construction activities will begin in 2022 using Subsea 7’s light construction, flex-lay, and reel-lay vessels.

The Development of the Bacalhau Field

Donnie Ross, President of Production Systems at Schlumberger, states that this contract reflects the company’s commitment to enhancing the performance of Equinor’s Bacalhau Field through an open collaboration approach, integrating and applying innovative subsea technology solutions based on Schlumberger’s expertise in high pressure and deep water. The President of Production Systems at Schlumberger also notes that it will have a positive impact on the regional economy by creating value in Brazil.

Stuart Fitzgerald, CEO of Subsea Integration Alliance LLC, mentioned that they have been working closely with Equinor since the FEED award in 2020, and in this EPCI phase, they will support Equinor in maximizing the potential of the Bacalhau Field through the Subsea Integration Alliance’s leading portfolio of technologies and services, and a ‘one team’ approach to project delivery.

The Bacalhau Field: Located 185 km off the coast of Ilha Bela municipality in São Paulo state, it has a water depth of 2,050 meters. The Bacalhau Field, in the Santos Basin, is Brazil’s first Integrated SPS and SURF project. The award is a significant endorsement of Subsea Integration Alliance’s strong position, which is part of Schlumberger, in the integrated market and its long-standing local presence in Brazil.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.
