McDermott secures transport and installation contracts in Brazil's offshore waters

McDermott International has been awarded an offshore transportation and installation (T&I) contract by Brazilian independent oil and gas company Brava Energia.

Under the contract, McDermott will provide T&I services for Brava Energia at the Papa-Terra field in the Campos Basin and the Atlanta field in Block BS-4 within the Santos Basin, both offshore Brazil.

Under the contract scope, McDermott will transport and install flexible pipelines, umbilicals and associated subsea equipment for two new wells at the Papa-Terra field and two new wells for the Atlanta Phase Two development.

The scope also includes pre-commissioning and onshore base support services.

Operated by Brava Energia, the new wells at the Papa-Terra and Atlanta fields will support production ramp-up as part of the company's ongoing strategy to increase output and extend the life of deepwater infrastructure.

McDermott previously delivered the Papa-Terra tension leg wellhead platform – the first dry-tree floating production system offshore Brazil and the first tension leg platform installed in South America at the time, according to the company.
