FMC Technologies, Inc. announced recently that
Petrobras has chosen FMC to supply the two subsea gas gathering
manifolds for Petrobras’ Plangas project, offshore Brazil.
The contract has a value of approximately $52M in revenue to
FMC Technologies.
FMC’s scope
of supply consists of two subsea manifolds, each with eight 10-inch
inlets and two 16-inch outlets, operated by multiplexed
subsea control systems. The manifolds will allow export of gas from
the Roncador, Albacora East and other Campos Basin fields. Deliveries
are scheduled to begin in 2008.
"We are pleased to be chosen by Petrobras to supply the manifold
systems for this key project that will support Brazil in achieving
gas self-sufficiency," said John Gremp, Executive Vice President,
FMC Technologies.
The project will
be engineered and manufactured at FMC Technologies’ facility
in Rio de Janeiro. With two facilities in Rio de Janeiro and one
service base in Macaé, FMC Technologies’ capabilities
in Brazil include local engineering, project management, manufacturing,
integration testing, installation and customer support.
