SLB’s OneSubsea™ joint venture was recently awarded a major contract by Petrobras, following a competitive tender, for the Roncador project, offshore of Brazil.

As part of the project scope, OneSubsea™ will provide two subsea production manifolds, one electro-hydraulic distribution unit and additional related services.

Why it matters

The project supports the further development of the Roncador field in the Campos Basin.

Roncador is one of Brazil’s five largest producing assets and has been in production since 1999, yet today it still retains significant reserves potential.

The provision of an effective subsea solution will help improve recovery from mature oilfield giant.

Local product and service delivery

Much of the technology and equipment to be deployed will be produced and serviced locally at SLB OneSubsea’s facilities in Brazil.

SLB OneSubsea will provide the full subsea equipment scope to this project, including subsea production manifolds, subsea control systems, distribution units, and toolkits, as well as field services for installation, commissioning, intervention, preservation and maintenance.

The takeaway

“This award further strengthens our valued relationship with Petrobras.” said Mads Hjelmeland, chief executive officer of SLB OneSubsea. “Helping our customers extend the life of their assets is core to our strategy, and we are pleased to be supporting the revitalization of Roncador.”
