Technip has been awarded a contract from Tupi BV for the ongoing development of the Lula Alto field in the Santos Basin pre-salt area, worth more than €500million.
The agreement with the company, which is a consortium composed of Petrobas Netherland, BG and Galp, covers the supply of around 200kilometres of flexible pipes and associated equipment.
Technip’s operating centre in Rio De Janeiro will perform the project management and engineering.
The flexible pipes will be produced at Technip’s manufacturing sites of Vitoria and Acu, with delivery scheduled to start in the second half of 2015.
Adriano Novitsky, president of Technip in Brazil, said: “Lula Alto is a major project for Technip in Brazil. Its size contributes to improving even more the workload visibility of our manufacturing plants.
“In addition, the challenging technical requirements confirm again the suitability of flexible pipes to pre-salt developments and Technip’s strong position in this domain.”
