The contract with Petrobras covers the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and pre-commissioning of the internal rigid riser and flowlines for offshore production. It also includes the installation and pre-commissioning of flexible service lines and steel tubular umbilicals, as well as the towing and connection of the FPSO.

TechnipFMC will leverage synergies with the Mero 1 offshore project, using rigid and flexible internal vessels and its significant local presence in Brazil, including a spool base, logistics base, and engineering resources. The offshore campaign is scheduled to begin in 2022.

Arnaud Pieton, Subsea President of TechnipFMC, commented: “We are very pleased to have secured another EPCI contract from the Libra Consortium, which strengthens the long-standing relationship between Petrobras and TechnipFMC. By executing and delivering this new landmark project, we hope to support Petrobras’s ambition in the pre-salt region and contribute to Brazil’s development.”
