Petrobras And TechnipFMC Develop Pilot Project In Brazil With Electric Technology For Subsea Systems, Promising Advances In Efficiency And Sustainability In The Oil And Gas Sector.

Petrobras and TechnipFMC have joined forces to test an innovative electric technology aimed at subsea systems. The pilot project, already under development in Brazil, intends to implement this innovation in a subsea Christmas tree by the year 2026.

The proposal focuses on modernizing the infrastructure used in offshore oil exploration, with less environmental impact and greater operational efficiency.

This cooperation between the two energy giants aims not only to optimize processes offshore but also to contribute to global goals for emission reduction and sustainability.

Path To More Sustainable Subsea Operations

The new electric system under testing promises to gradually replace the hydraulic models traditionally used in deep-water operations.

The expectation is that this transition will provide simpler, lighter subsea structures with less maintenance needs.

TechnipFMC, the technology partner in the project, believes that the advancement will transform the way subsea production is done.

“This pilot marks an important step towards fully electric fields, aligning innovation and environmental commitment,” the company stated on its social media.

Strategic Partnership Between TechnipFMC And Petrobras

The system in development integrates the eSolution family, a well-established line by TechnipFMC that brings together decades of expertise in subsea technologies.

With over 30 million operational hours accumulated, the company’s electric systems provide a solid foundation for the evolution of this new technological phase.

The great advantage of this solution is its flexibility: it can be applied at different moments in the lifecycle of the subsea Christmas tree — from initial manufacturing to potential upgrades in already operational fields.

The collaboration between Petrobras and TechnipFMC reinforces the role of both companies as leaders in the transformation of the energy sector.

The initiative aligns with Petrobras’ plans to invest in lower-emission technologies and increase the use of cleaner energy in the coming years.
