The bidding process by Petrobras is expected to take place by the end of the year and will energize the sector, not just because of the quantity, but also due to the opportunity for companies to develop tools for the operation of this equipment.
This new possibility, however, is being criticized by the market, which fears an increase in proposal prices since, if the tools are not used, companies will include the cost of their depreciation and also in case they do not win other contracts and recover the investment.
Petrobras also plans to order other subsea equipment in the coming months, such as flexible pipes and wellheads.
Origin Of The Name Christmas Trees
The name Christmas Trees originated in the 1930s when inhabitants of land-based oil provinces in the USA associated the equipment (which was covered in snow) with a Christmas tree.
With the exploration of the first subsea wells in the 1960s, the term gained the adjective “wet” when it began to be installed on the seafloor.
The equipment is a set of remotely operated valves that control the flow of produced or injected fluids in the well.
