The subsea production system, rated at 10,000psi, will be installed in approximately 1,350m of water in the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil. FMC’s primary scope of supply includes four vertical subsea trees, with an option for two additional trees, as well as manifolds, controls and associated equipment.
The project will be engineered and manufactured at FMC’s facility in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Deliveries are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2009.
John Gremp, FMC Technologies’s executive vice president of energy systems, said: We are delighted to continue supporting Petrobras with their projects. Our operation has supplied the largest portion of Petrobras’s currently installed subsea equipment offshore Brazil.
