Pioneering environmental project
In 2023, Mecus Subsea, a Brazilian avant-garde in subsea technology, stood out by leading the first oil well decommissioning project in Brazil. The initiative, in partnership with Shell, focused on the dismantling of assets in the Bijupirá and Salema fields, located in the Campos basin. This pioneering project had a direct relationship with the decommissioning of the FPSO Fluminense, affectionately nicknamed 'Maestro de vida'. Shell, recognizing Mecus' expertise, trusted the company after a careful bidding process in late 2022.
Mecus operational excellence
A Mecus Subsea assumed full responsibility for the planning and execution of underwater operations, mobilizing a complete arsenal of equipment and a highly qualified technical team. The scope of work covered a series of complex activities, from cutting flowlines to removing MCVs, to installing insulation covers and seals. With a special focus on environmental integrity, the company provided detailed operational procedures, real-time supervision of offshore operations, as well as high-performance tools and devices developed in-house, ensuring agility, safety and, above all, respect for the environment.
Mikelli Pessanha, manager of Mecus, highlighted the project as another showcase of Brazilian potential in the area, highlighting the company's role as a growing exporter of technology for underwater intervention. The gratitude expressed by Pessanha echoes the commitment and dedication to the segment over more than a decade, resulting in Mecus' growing reputation as a synonym for efficiency, safety and environmental responsibility. Collaboration with sector giants, such as Shell and Petrobras, as well as the support of a multidisciplinary team, are highlighted as pillars for the company's continued success.
