TechnipFMC said April 9 it has been awarded a significant contract for the Lapa pre-salt field by Total E&P do Brasil Ltda., on behalf of the Lapa Field consortium, comprised of Total (35%), Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. (30%), Repsol Sinopec Brasil SA (25%) and Petrobras (10%).
The Lapa field is located in the pre-salt Santos Basin, under the BM-S-9A concession, at 2,150 m (7,053 ft) of water depth offshore Brazil.
The contract covers the supply of flexible pipes for oil production, gas lift and gas injection as well as associated accessories. The field will be connected to the FPSO Cidade de Caraguatatuba, already in operation.
“We are honored to be selected to execute the Lapa pre-salt field project in Brazil. We look forward to collaborating with Total and the Lapa Field Consortium to further enhance the hydrocarbon potential of Brazil,” Arnaud Piéton, president subsea at TechnipFMC, said.
For TechnipFMC, a “significant” contract is between $75 million and $250 million.
