Technip has won a major flexible pipe supply contract for the deepwater pre-salt Iracema Sul field offshore Brazil.
The French contractor was awarded the contract, worth at least €500 million (US $670 million), by state-owned major Petrobras. The company will supply flexible pipes for the field (formerly called Cernambi Sul), in the pre-salt Santos Basin in a water depth of up to 2,500 m (8,202 ft), it said.
The contract covers the qualification and supply of up to 250 km of flexible pipes for oil production, gas lift, water and gas injection as well as related equipment for the pre-salt area to be installed on the FPSO Cidade de Mangaratiba.
The pipes are designed to meet Petrobras’ requested service life. The gas injection pipes are designed for high internal pressure, using Technip’s patented Teta wire profile, developed by Technip’s R&D team at its Flexi France plant in Le Trait, France to resist the radial effect of the internal pressures.
Technip’s operating centre in Rio de Janeiro will perform the engineering and project management. The flexible pipes will mainly be fabricated at its existing manufacturing plant in Vitória, with some specifications also being produced at its new manufacturing plant in Açu, Brazil.
First deliveries are scheduled for the first half of 2014.
