Marcelo Xavier, Vice President of Subsea 7 in Brazil, said: “This contract builds on our track record of executing projects outside Brazil and reflects our commitment to working and learning alongside our client to achieve successful solutions. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Total in Brazil through mutually beneficial collaboration on this project and, in the long term, in future developments.”
The Lapa field is operated by Petrobras, but an agreement signed with Total in December 2017 transferred the operation and the sale of 35% of its stake to the French company.
The Lapa field is located in the former area of block BM-S-9, with Total holding 35% of the area in partnership with Shell (30%), Repsol Sinopec Brasil (25%), and Petrobras (10%).
