The agreement assures that a minimum of 75% of the contracted equipment will be ordered during the contract’s four-year call-off period.
FMC’s scope of supply includes the manufacture of up to eight subsea manifolds with subsea multiplex control systems. All equipment will be engineered and manufactured at FMC’s facility in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Deliveries are slated to commence in 2012.
John Gremp, president and chief operating officer of FMC, said: “In February, Petrobras awarded FMC a long-term subsea tree frame agreement. Today’s four-year manifold agreement further strengthens our ability to support their ongoing and future activities, including deepwater and pre-salt developments.”
