Fugro Is Providing Positioning And Support Services Aboard The Jumbo Offshore, Assisting In The Mero 1 Development Field, Located 180 Km From RJ

Partnerships between companies make the work much faster and safer in the offshore sector. Fugro has signed a contract with Jumbo Offshore to assist in the installation of 35 torpedo piles, with a total of 24 anchoring cables to secure the floating unit Mero 1, a pre-salt field in the Santos Basin. Mero 1 is located 180 km off the coast of RJ, where Petrobras and other companies operate.

The activities are being carried out aboard the Fairplayer crane vessel, which belongs to Jumbo Offshore. The expectation is that the work will last at least six months. The company is using advanced technology to perform the services aboard the Jumbo. The Starfix and Quickvision solutions will provide real-time positioning of construction activities and subsea installations.

Rogério Carvalho, County Manager of Fugro Brazil, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “The global reach of Fugro and advanced technology, combined with our resources and experience from the Netherlands and Brazil, were key to securing this contract. Having overcome many challenges in planning operations for this project amid restrictions caused by Covid-19, we are excited to now support Jumbo in this important deepwater development.”

The Mero 1 Field has a Production Sharing Contract with the Libra Consortium. Petrobras is the operator, holding 40% of production. Shell has a total of 20%, CNOOC Limited 10%, and CNOOC another 10%. Earlier this month, Petrobras announced delays in its first oil production at Mero 1, through the FPSO Guanabara. The expectation is that this will happen only in the first quarter of 2022.
