Sept. 15 (PN) Tenaris announced the award of a contract to supply 18,000 tons (115 km) of seamless pipe for risers and flowlines for the FPSO P-83 (Búzios 11) production system. The agreement also includes the delivery of TenarisShawcor thermal insulation coatings.
The seamless pipes will be produced at Tenaris’ manufacturing center in Dalmine, Italy. Additionally, 112 km of pipes will be insulated with TenarisShawcor 5-Layer Marine Syntactic and 5-Layer Marine Solid coatings, to be applied at Confab, Tenaris’ factory in Pindamonhangaba, São Paulo.
“We are proud to once again support the development of the Búzios field, building on the positive experience of previous phases. This contract demonstrates the value we deliver by integrating our product technologies with specialized services, while leveraging our global manufacturing capabilities and our strong local presence in Brazil,” said Renato Catallini, President of Tenaris in Brazil.
The Búzios 11 Production Development Project includes the interconnection of 15 wells to the P-83 platform: eight producers and seven alternating water and gas injectors. The platform’s engineering, procurement, construction, and subsea installation (EPCI) contract is being executed by Subsea7.
The offshore campaign for the installation of the subsea infrastructure is scheduled to begin in October 2027. The Búzios consortium is comprised of Petrobras (operator), in partnership with CNOOC, CNODC, and PPSA (the company managing the production sharing contracts).
