With The New Contract, Petrobras and TechnipFMC Validate National Technology for Safe Operation in the Pre-Salt.

Petrobras and TechnipFMC have signed a strategic technological contract to accelerate the development of the Hybrid Flexible Pipe (HFP) — an innovation aimed at overcoming one of the main challenges of the offshore industry: stress corrosion caused by CO₂ (SCC CO₂) in flexible pipes. The project aims to deliver a definitive and standardized solution for ultra-deep environments, especially under the demanding conditions of the Brazilian pre-salt.

Composed of advanced materials such as carbon fiber and the thermoplastic polymer PEEK (polyether-ether-ketone), the HFP technology combines lightness, fatigue resistance, and tolerance to highly corrosive environments while maintaining the operational advantages of conventional flexible pipes.

Testing and Qualification of The New Technology

Currently in the qualification phase, the HFP will be tested with direct support from Petrobras to ensure its performance in real operations.

New System from Petrobras Will Be Manufactured by TechnipFMC in Brazil

The new system will be manufactured at TechnipFMC’s facility at the Port of Açu, reinforcing the commitment to local content and the generation of qualified jobs in Brazil.

The signed contract follows the technological order model, a form of innovation funding that allows the government to invest in the development of unprecedented solutions with direct application potential.

This model also foresees the future acquisition of the developed technology, should it meet the established performance criteria, promoting a virtuous cycle between scientific development, practical application, and technological sovereignty in the energy sector.

The collaboration between Petrobras and TechnipFMC strengthens the pursuit of safer, more economical, and sustainable technologies for the offshore environment, in addition to positioning Brazil as a global reference in innovation in the oil and gas sector.

New System from Petrobras Will Be Manufactured by TechnipFMC in Brazil

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

While the world rushes to mine lithium from Congo and Chile, Brazil sits on one of the largest reserves and has barely begun to explore.

While Japan is seen as a global symbol of cleanliness, entire houses taken over by garbage expose loneliness, aging, and a legal barrier that prevents quick actions by municipalities.

A family lived in a house filled with 80 tons of garbage in South Korea, until authorities entered the property, sent the residents for psychological treatment, and began a three-day cleanup.

A giant golden ball in the middle of gardens in India was assembled with 1,415 discs, took decades to be completed, and transforms sunlight into controlled central lighting.

Three teenagers surprise the world by creating a powder with tamarind seeds that removes microplastics from water, requires no electricity, and wins an international prize of $12,500 at The Earth Prize 2026.
