Pioneering in Environmental Project

In 2023, Mecus Subsea, a Brazilian pioneer in underwater technology, stood out by leading the first decommissioning project of oil wells in Brazil. The initiative, in partnership with Shell, focused on dismantling the assets of 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’s expertise, entrusted the company after a careful bidding process at the end of 2022.

Operational Excellence of Mecus

The Mecus Subsea took 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 included a series of complex activities, from cutting flowlines to removing MCVs, as well as the installation of covers and isolation seals. With a special focus on environmental integrity, the company provided detailed operational procedures, real-time supervision of offshore operations, in addition to 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, emphasizing the company’s role as a growing exporter of technology for underwater intervention. The gratitude expressed by Pessanha resonates with the commitment and dedication to the segment over more than a decade, resulting in Mecus’s growing reputation as a synonym of efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility. Collaboration with industry giants such as Shell and Petrobras, as well as the support of a multidisciplinary team, are cited as pillars for the company’s continued success.
