“McDermott has had a strong presence in Brazil for over four decades, and we see tremendous growth opportunities in the region”, said Mark Coscio, Senior Vice President of McDermott for North, Central, and South America.
The McDermott office in Rio de Janeiro will carry out the work with support from its Houston office. McDermott plans to use five ships for the installation work at ultra-deep water depths of up to 2,140 meters (7,021 feet).
The Sépia field operated by Petrobras is located in the massive “pre-salt” region of the Santos Basin, about 250 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, at a water depth of approximately 2,200 meters. First oil is expected in 2021.
