“This contract builds on our strong, collaborative relationship with Petrobras and track record of executing major EPCI projects globally,” Marcelo Xavier, vice-president of Brazil, said. “Subsea 7 looks forward to working closely with Petrobras to successfully deliver the project.”
Subsea 7 defines a very large contract as being between $500 and $750 million.
