Technip has been awarded a highly technological lump sum contract by Petrobras for the Guara and Lula Nordeste pre-salt field development in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil in waters 2,250m in depth.
The scope includes manufacture of 24km of six-inch gas injection flexible lines rated for 552 bars (7,850lbs force per sq in) design pressure, two 200m top risers designed with Technip’s Teta-Clip pressure vault technology, four 1,400m intermediate and bottom risers, and 18km of flowlines. The gas injection lines will be used to re-inject produced gas into the reservoir in keeping with new Brazilian environmental regulation.
