RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 11 -- Brazil's state-owned Petroleo Brasileiro SA has awarded a consortium of Subsea 7 Inc. and Technip to supply and install the flexible lines that will connect 30 wells in the giant Roncador oil field in the Campos basin to the P-52 platform.
Subsea 7 selected Aker Kvaerner Subsea do Brasil to supply the connection systems, which are slated for delivery in November 2006. Installation work is expected to start in August 2006.
The work will include the supply of two emergency shut-down valves, four pipeline end manifolds, and vertical connection modules.
