With the end of the campaign, the company now operates 100% of its fleet under contracts with Petrobras
Seagems has just concluded operations on the BRAVA Project, carried out in the Atlanta Field, located in the Santos Basin. The contract was signed in 2022 and involved an EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation) campaign, conducted in partnership with shareholder Sapura Energy. The final phase of operations began in April 2024, with the mobilization of the vessel Ônix to perform the subsea activities. With the project’s completion, the company’s entire fleet is now operating exclusively under contracts with Petrobras.
During the project, the vessel was adapted to meet the specific requirements of the operation, including the decommissioning of the existing Early Production System (EPS), redirecting flexible pipes and umbilicals to the new FPSO Atlanta, and connecting three new 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,” said Fillipe Ferreira, CTO of Seagems.
Contracts with Petrobras
In 2024, Seagems signed contracts with Petrobras totaling USD 1.8 billion, involving the operation of six PLSV (Pipe Laying Support Vessel) type vessels over the coming years. The scope includes subsea engineering services and the handling of flexible pipelines in various areas along the Brazilian coast.
The vessels are responsible for activities such as the installation and removal of flexible pipes, electro-hydraulic umbilicals, and power cables — whether new or reused. Operations include loading, laying, anchoring, decommissioning, interconnections, connections to subsea equipment, installation of structures on the seabed, and hydrostatic testing, at depths reaching up to 3,000 meters.
