Petrobras has launched a tender to hire engineering, preparation, removal, and disposal (EPRD) services, which will be aimed at decommissioning the remaining underwater structures from the FPSOs Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Cidade de Rio das Ostras, and Piranema, which are already demobilized from the Campos and Sergipe-Alagoas basins projects, respectively.

According to the Petronotícias website, on October 13, Petrobras will open the envelopes with the proposals from the bidding companies. The national scope tender will take place in an open dispute mode, and the price competition will start on October 14. In addition to engineering, preparation, removal, and disposal services, Petrobras’s tender will also hire activities for the disposal, as scrap, of materials from the underwater systems belonging to the three FPSOs. The tender evaluation criterion will be the best combination, with the lowest price for Petrobras, considering the difference between the value of the proposals of the EPRD service provision contract and the value of the disposal contract proposal.

Finally, for FPSO Rio das Ostras, previously installed in the Campos of Tartaruga Verde, Tartaruga Mestiça, and Espadarte, the work will involve two wells and 21.1 km of flexible lines.
