Contract with Subsea7 Consolidates Oil States as a Strategic Supplier
With 13 Rigid Jumpers for the Mero 4 field and 15 for Búzios 8, the partnership between Oil States and Subsea7 marks a milestone in the expansion of local production of subsea equipment.
The contracts cover all phases of the industrial process, including engineering, assembly, specialized welding, FAT testing, and logistics.

Strengthening the National Industry and Innovation in the Pre-Salt
According to Marcio Robles, General Director of Oil States in Brazil, “to me, each signed contract represents much more than revenue. It’s an important step in building our local capacity, strengthening industrial autonomy, and valuing our technical pride.”
He also highlighted the importance of the partnership with Subsea7, which recognizes the company’s capability to provide solutions manufactured entirely in Brazil, with technical excellence and the capacity to face the challenges of the offshore energy market.
Mero 4 and Búzios 8 Are Strategic Projects of the Pre-Salt
The Mero 4 and Búzios 8 fields are among the most strategic projects in oil exploration in the pre-salt, at about 2,200 meters deep. The simultaneous execution of the contracts reflects the dynamism of the national industry and the technological advancement of local suppliers.
The initiative also reinforces Oil States’ commitment to the nationalization of subsea components, offering the market an independent and certified alternative, with a focus on quality, innovation, and competitiveness.
