Siemens Energy was contracted by OneSubsea to supply equipment for the pre-salt project in the Santos Basin
OneSubsea signed a contract with Siemens Energy to supply a ready-made package of equipment for use in the Bacalhau field, located in the Santos Basin pre-salt. Under the contract, Siemens will supply pressure and temperature sensors for the field's subsea production system operated by Equinor. The deal is the turnkey package, a type of contract where only one vendor is hired to carry out the job from start to finish.

Project provided by Siemens Energy for the pre-salt layer in the Santos Basin
Siemens Energy will supply pressure and temperature sensors for the subsea production system in the Santos Basin pre-salt field. By providing monitoring data to the pre-salt production system, the sensors help operators make informed decisions and ensure safe and efficient production.
The contract between Siemens Energy and OneSubsea also includes electrical distribution equipment comprising overhead cables, umbilical terminations, connectors for subsea modules and sets of multi-leg harnesses. In addition, Siemens Energy will provide variable frequency drive (VFD) for the floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel in the field located in the Santos Basin.
The agreement with OneSubsea on the supply of equipment
Jennifer Hooper, Senior Vice President of Industrial Applications Solutions at Siemens Energy, says that supplying electrical distribution equipment and instrumentation as part of the complete turnkey package will reduce the number of suppliers needed for the subsea production system. Hooper further said this will significantly reduce interface risks and overall project complexity for OneSubsea.
Projects operated in the Bacalheu field, in the pre-salt, in the Santos Basin
Siemens Energy reported that installation and commissioning of the equipment will take place in 2022 and 2024. OneSubsea is part of the Subsea Integration Alliance, which also includes Subsea7.
The alliance was recently awarded a subsea contract for umbilical, risers and flowlines (SURF) by Equinor for the development project of the field. With a 40% stake, Equinor is the operator of the Bacalhau field, in the Santos basin. Other field partners include ExxonMobil, Petrogal Brasil and Pré-sal Petróleo.
The development of the field, where Siemens Energy will supply the equipment, will include 19 subsea wells linked to an FPSO, which will have a production capacity of 220.000 barrels per day and two million barrels of storage.
