Equinor Jacket For Peregrino C Project In Campos Basin Is Already In Position And Promises To Create 200 Jobs In Brazil, According To The Norwegian Company

The Dutch Heerema Fabrication Group Completed the Final Roll-Up of the Jacket Structure for Equinor’s Peregrino C Platform – Set to Be Installed Offshore Brazil – the Structure Was Built at the Shipyard in Vlissingen, Netherlands

The Peregrino field, operated by Equinor, is located in the BM-C-7 and BM-C-47 licenses, approximately 85 km off the coast of Brazil, in the Campos Basin, at 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 unit (FPSO). The Peregrino C platform is part of the Peregrino Phase II Project, which includes the addition of a third fixed structure platform.

200 Jobs Secured at Equinor Brazil Just with This Platform for the Next 20 Years

Equinor on Sunday released a video about 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 onshore in Brazil, said Equinor. The platform will help extend the life of the Peregrino field and add value for 20 years. It will add 273 million in recoverable reserves.

This summer, subsea pipes and equipment manufactured in Brazil will be installed on the seabed, and by the end of this year, the platform will be installed in the field. The legs come first, and this spring the final steel structure was lifted in a roll-up.

As previously published, TechnipFMC’s main deepwater pipelay vessel Deep Blue set sail for the submarine project to lay a pipeline in the Project Peregrino Phase 2 at the beginning of this month.

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