With a budget of 96 million to carry over activities on the P-69, the Keppel Brasil shipyard has latent potential for hiring.

[supsystic-social-sharing id='1′]Petrobras and Sofec have just signed a contract for services on platform P-69 for carry-over services, coupling machinery to the hull, nautical equipment and cable system. The lucky shipyard that won this work was Keppel. This unit is part of the Tupi consortium, which comprises Petrobras and Petrogal do Brasil.

This unit is expected to be delivered in 2018, in fact, Keppel was hired earlier to integrate, test and commission the topside capsules of the P-69. Keppel Fels has already managed to manufacture them, only missing integration and commissioning. Upon delivery, it will be able to process more than 146 barrels of oil every day and 6 million m³ of gas as well.

With regard to the contract signed with SOFEC, the forecast is to manufacture tower mooring devices for a new unit that is coming up. According to information, this vessel will be a liquefied gas (FLNG) vessel and it is destined to carry out operations in the sedimentary basin of Mozambique. The start forecast is in 2018 with services until 2020.

In view of these 2 contracts, naturally Keppels Fels Brasil will need qualified labor, and we know that this is not lacking here in Brazil. Could it be that this is a prelude to the recovery of the Brazilian naval sector? There were 4 long years of economic recession due to the most destructive financial crisis that hit the country, but many contracts are being closed. The 2017 oil auctions were successful, the largest companies in the world will produce in the country next year, the revitalization of mature fields in the Campos Basin and a new Petrobras tender that will take place in 2018.
