Equinor's jacket for the Peregrino C project in the Campos Basin is already in position and promises to create 200 job openings in Brazil, according to the Norwegian

The Dutch Heerema Fabrication Group carried out the last roll-up of the jacket structure for Equinor's Peregrino C platform – to be installed offshore Brazil – the structure was built at the Vlissingen shipyard in the Netherlands

The Peregrino field, operated by Equinor, is located in licenses BM-C-7 and BM-C-47, approximately 85 km offshore Brazil, in the Campos basin, in a water depth of 100m. It is the company's largest international operation outside Norway. The field consists of two fixed wellhead platforms and a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit. The Peregrino C platform is part of the Peregrino Phase II Project, which includes the addition of a third fixed structure platform.

200 guaranteed jobs at Equinor Brasil with this platform alone over the next 20 years

Equinor, on Sunday, released a video on the assembly of the Peregrino C jacket. When the new Peregrino C platform comes into operation, in Brazil, at the end of 2020, it will create 200 long-term jobs abroad — and will create ripple effects on land in Brazil, Equinor said. The platform will contribute to extending the useful life of the Peregrino field and will add value for 20 years. It will add 273 million in recoverable reserves.

This summer, subsea pipelines and equipment manufactured in Brazil will be installed on the seabed and, at the end of this year, the platform will be installed in the field. Legs come first, and this spring the final steel frame was lifted into a roll-up.

As previously reported, TechnipFMC's flagship deepwater and pipeline transport vessel Deepell in the earlier this month embarked on the submarine project to launch a pipeline at the Project Pilgrim Phase 2.

Deep Blue will install rigid and flexible pipelines as well as PLET structures in water depths of 100 meters 85 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The ship will participate in an installation phase that will take place in two campaigns. Mobilizations for these will take place at Evanton Spoolbase in the north of Scotland. Another vessel from TechnipFMC's fleet will also participate in the project at a later date. More information at equinor.com.
