SBM Offshore, Modec And MISC Are Leading Competition To Provide Floater For The Pre-Salt Field And Proposals Will Be Presented On February 14, Brazilian Shipyards Are Already Being Consulted

Three floating companies are emerging as the main competitors as a consortium led by Petrobras prepares to receive bids for a large FPSO for the development of the pre-salt in the Mero-2 field in Brazil. SBM Offshore, Modec, and MISC are practically in a silent war, not only for the lucrative contracts but for the development milestone that this will represent in the coming years.

The SBM Offshore Is Looking For A New Brazilian Project After A Long Period Behind The Scenes due to compliance issues with state-controlled Petrobras. With the ban lifted, Petrobras’s delays in completing the bidding process have given the “Dutch player” extra time to catch up on its engineering and logistics preparations, and a highly competitive bid is expected.

SBM is choosing to focus on the Mero-2 field, excluding other Petrobras bids due to the higher values required in this pre-salt unit, with its high specifications for an ultra-productive field.
