With offshore works scheduled to begin later this year, Subsea7 secures a contract with the giant Shell, in the Campos Basin
Subsea 7 has secured what it says is a “sizeable” contract from Shell for the decommissioning of subsea infrastructure off the coast of Brazil, according to websites offshoreenergy and subsea7.com. The contract provides for Subsea 7 to carry out the decommissioning of the submarine infrastructure associated with the FPSO Fluminense in the Bijupirá and Salema fields, in the Campos Basin, at 700 meters of water.
The contract and the works to be carried out
The scope of the company includes the disconnection, recovery and disposal of ten flexible risers, three umbilicals and nine mooring cables. Offshore works are scheduled to begin later this year, in December.
Yann Cottart, vice president of Subsea7 Brasil, said: “Twenty years ago, Subsea7 installed the flexibles and umbilicals for Shell's Bijupirá and Salema fields and, two decades later, we are proud to be one of the contractors chosen by Shell to participate in completing the life cycle of this field.”

About the FPSO and the decommissioning contract
The FPSO Fluminense, 390 meters long and LDT of 51.000 Mt, was commissioned in 2003 in the Bijupirá and Salema oil fields. These fields are located adjacent to each other, approximately 250 kilometers east of Rio de Janeiro, in water depths ranging from approximately 470 to 800 meters.
Shell formalized a limited notice to proceed (LNTP) agreement with Modern American Recycling Services, Europe (MARS) earlier this year for dismantling and green recycling of the FPSO Fluminense.
