Trident Energy do Brasil Ltda., a subsidiary of Trident Energy, let a field decommissioning contract to Helix Energy Solutions Group Inc., Houston. The project, offshore Brazil in the Pampo and Enchova clusters in the Campos basin, is expected to begin late 2022 for a firm period of 12 months with multiple customer options to extend.
Trident Energy entered Brazil’s offshore environment with acquisition of shallow water Pampo and Enchova clusters from Petrobras in 2020 (OGJ Online, July 16, 2020). The company owns and operates four platforms in the Campos basin—PPM1 in the Pampo cluster, and PCE-1, P-65, and P-08 in the Enchova cluster. The fields lie in water depths of 85-780 m.
Pampo comprises four concessions: Badejo, Pampo, Linguado, and Trilha. Enchova comprises six concessions: Bicudo, Bonito, Enchova Enchova Oeste, Marimbá, and Piraúna.
