Saipem Signs Agreement With Petrobras for Development of Autonomous Underwater Drones in Brazil

The Italian company Saipem announced today (28) the achievement of two new major contracts in the area of underwater robotics and offshore engineering. One of these contracts was signed with Petrobras, aiming at the development and testing of autonomous underwater drones, using Saipem’s fleet of underwater drones, in conjunction with the Flatfish AUV autonomous underwater vehicle.

The agreement also provides for the qualification of autonomous drone-based services, paving the way for future offshore inspection contracts in Brazil. This contract represents a significant milestone in Saipem’s innovative underwater robotics program, enabling the global application of underwater drones in offshore projects throughout the entire value chain.
