The Brazilian Engineering and Construction Company, Delp, Will Deliver Submarine Torpedoes for the Anchoring System Designed to Keep Petrobras’ Mero 1 FPSO in Place.

Petrobras Closed a Deal with Delp Engenharia, a Company That Holds Facilities in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, for a Major Project to Provide 34 Anchoring Torpedoes for the Mero 1 FPSO, Located in the Mero Field, About 180 Kilometers Off the Coast of Rio de Janeiro, in Deep Waters of the Pre-Salt, Featuring High-Quality Carbonate Reservoirs with High Expected Productivity in the Wells.

Delivery Will Occur in Early 2020. According to Delp, Its Torpedoes Offer “An Attractive Cost Savings” Compared to Suction Piles.
