SLB has secured a significant contract from Petrobras through its OneSubsea™ joint venture, following a competitive tender process. The contract involves the provision of standardized, pre-salt subsea production systems and associated services for the continued development of two key oil fields in the Santos Basin, an area of strategic importance.
As part of the second development phase for the Atapu and Sepia fields, SLB OneSubsea will supply Petrobras-standard configured, pre-salt vertical trees, subsea distribution units, subsea control systems, and pipeline systems. The contract also includes related installation, commissioning, and life-of-field services. Notably, much of the technology and equipment for this project, including the vertical trees and subsea control systems, will be produced and serviced locally at SLB OneSubsea’s facilities in Brazil.
Mads Hjelmeland, CEO of SLB OneSubsea, expressed the company’s commitment to the partnership with Petrobras, stating, “This award deepens our valued partnership with Petrobras, and we are proud to be supporting the development of such important assets to Brazil. Leveraging our proven, locally developed technology platform facilitates on-time delivery and maximizes local content from our Brazilian manufacturing and service facilities. Brazil is a key market for us, and our continued in-country investments are key to support the growth we envisage for the region.”
The Atapu and Sepia fields are critical components of Petrobras’ broader pre-salt investments, which are expected to significantly enhance Brazil’s oil and gas production capabilities. The contract will enable the addition of two new floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) platforms, P-84 for the Atapu field and P-85 for the Sepia field. Each FPSO is designed with a daily production capacity of 225,000 barrels of oil and the ability to process 10 million cubic meters of gas per day.
This contract further cements SLB’s role in the development of Brazil’s energy infrastructure, highlighting the importance of local content and technological innovation in supporting the country’s growing energy needs.
