(offshore-energy.biz) Italy’s cable systems giant Prysmian has provided a solution to a tie-back project in the pre-salt layer off the coast of Brazil, which it describes as a groundbreaking system envisioned to connect fields 30 kilometers (km) away to a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) unit, enabling fast-tracked development of an oil project with a reduction in costs and time spent on developing project.
Prysmian, which believes sustainability and innovation go hand in hand, is pursuing transformation and evolution as priorities to support the energy transition, digitalization, and sustainability, fostering collaboration across the entire value chain, through an ecosystem of multi-stakeholder partnerships. VARD, which is building a third cable-laying vessel (CLV) for the Italian player, recently held a steel-cutting ceremony for the CLV under construction at its shipyard in Tulcea, Romania.
In line with its objectives, Prysmian has supplied a system with a large-bore steel tube and power hybrid umbilical for offshore energy development, which it sees as innovative in the Campos Basin. The project refers to a solution to connect the Wahoo field to the FPSO Valente, former FPSO Frade, about 30 kilometers away from the already-producing Frade field in Brazil’s pre-salt area.
