Allseas preps for huge subsea pipeline job at Brazil’s supergiant ultra-deepwater oil field

(offshore-energy.biz) Switzerland-headquartered offshore pipeline installation, heavy lift, and subsea construction contractor Allseas has put the wheels into motion to get ready for its new assignment on Brazil’s second largest oil field.

With its headquarters in Switzerland and central engineering and project management office in the Netherlands, Allseas has opened a new project management and engineering office in Rio de Janeiro, which will serve as the firm’s strategic hub throughout the latest project it won with Petrobras following a competitive tender.

Frans den Hartogh, Project Director, commented: “This award reaffirms our position as a leading player in one of the world’s most prolific deepwater regions and underscores our ability to execute complex, large-scale offshore projects.”

The Swiss player’s new contract with the Brazilian giant covers the design, procurement, construction, and installation of subsea infrastructure for the Búzios-10 pre-salt project some 180 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

The new assignment is said to mark Allseas’ return to the Brazilian offshore construction market, following campaigns installing export pipelines for Petrobras’ Rota 1, Rota 2, and Rota 3 pre-salt developments.
