Technip wins Brazilian pipe supply contract

Technip won a major contract for the supply of flexible pipes by Petrobras for the Iracema Sul (former Cernambi Sul) field, located in the Santos Basin pre-salt area, Brazil at a water depth of up to 2,500 m.

The contract covers the qualification and supply of up to 250 km of flexible pipes for oil production, gas lift, water and gas injection as well as related equipment for the pre-salt area to be installed on the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit Cidade de Mangaratiba. The highly technological flexible pipes are designed to meet Petrobras’ requested service life. Gas injection pipes are designed for high internal pressure, using the Teta profile developed by Technip’s R&D team in its Flexi France plant in Le Trait, France.

Technip’s operating center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil will perform the engineering and project management. The flexible pipes will mainly be fabricated at Technip's existing manufacturing plant in Vitória, with some specifications also being produced at the new manufacturing plant at Açu, Brazil. The first delivery is scheduled for 1H 2014.
