Houston‑based McDermott has been awarded an offshore transportation and installation contract by Brazil’s BRAVA Energia for its Papa‑Terra field in the Campos Basin and the Atlanta field in Block BS‑4 of the Santos Basin, according to the company's release.
The contract covers transportation and installation of flexible pipelines, umbilicals and related subsea equipment for two new wells at Papa‑Terra and two at Atlanta Phase 2.
Pre‑commissioning and onshore‑base support services are also included.
Mahesh Swaminathan, Senior Vice President of Subsea and Floating Facilities at McDermott, said the award “highlights the vital role of subsea infrastructure in enabling long‑term production and asset value for deepwater developments” and added that the company will use its integrated delivery model, marine capabilities and brownfield expertise across the South American offshore market.
McDermott previously delivered the Papa‑Terra tension‑leg wellhead platform—Brazil’s first dry‑tree floating production system and South America’s first tension‑leg platform.
McDermott defines a “sizeable” contract as valued between USD 1 million and USD 50 million.
