Shell has as expected awarded FMC Technologies a subsea package to supply systems for Phase 3 of the operator’s deepwater Parque das Conchas development offshore Brazil, with the contractor having previously won deals for the first two phases of the project.
The workscope includes the supply of seven subsea trees, two manifolds and associated subsea control systems, with FMC to also supply tie-in connection systems and subsea distribution hardware and associated tooling and services.
Also known as BC-10 Phase 3, the development is the second expansion of the original field development, located in water depths ranging from 1,500-2,000 m (5,000-6,500 ft). FMC was awarded Phase 1 in 2006 and Phase 2 in 2010 and supplied the subsea systems, including separation and boosting modules to Shell.
“Phase 1 of this field came onstream in July of 2009 and included the industry’s first subsea gas/liquid separation and boosting system developed by FMC Technologies,” said Tore Halvorsen, FMC’s senior vice president, Subsea Technologies. “This latest order for Parque das Conchas continues FMC Technologies’ support for Shell’s developments offshore Brazil.”
