Seagems completes works in the Atlanta Field and now concentrates 100% of its fleet on contracts with Petrobras

Aug 11 (PN) Seagems completed the BRAVA Project, carried out in the Atlanta Field, in the Santos Basin. Signed in 2022, the contract included an EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation) campaign, developed in partnership with its shareholder Sapura Energy. The final phase began in April 2024, with the mobilization of the vessel Onix to carry out subsea operations.

Throughout the project, the vessel was adapted to meet the specific demands of the operation, including the decommissioning of the existing EPS (Early Production System) system and the rerouting of flexible pipelines and umbilicals to the new FPSO Atlanta, in addition to the connection of three additional wells.

“It wasn’t an easy project. It required creative solutions and, above all, a lot of teamwork, but Seagems demonstrated professionalism, commitment, and resilience,” says Seagems’ CTO, Fillipe Ferreira.

With the completion of the project, the company’s entire fleet will operate exclusively under contracts with Petrobras. In 2024, Seagems signed agreements with the Brazilian state-owned company totaling US$1.8 billion, involving the operation of six PLSV (Pipe Laying Support Vessel) vessels over the coming years. The scope includes subsea engineering services and flexible pipeline handling in different regions of the Brazilian coast.

The vessels perform tasks such as installing and removing flexible pipelines, electro-hydraulic umbilicals, and new or reused power cables. Operations include loading, launching, anchoring, decommissioning, interconnections, connections to subsea equipment, installation of structures on the seabed and hydrostatic testing in water depths of up to 3,000 meters.
