- ONESUBSEA COMPLETES ALL-ELECTRIC SUBSEA TECHNOLOGY PROJECT IN BRAZIL
SLB OneSubsea has completed the Brazil All-Electric Joint Industry Project (JIP), developed with TotalEnergies, Equinor, bp and Chevron under ANP’s research and development framework.
The project qualified electric subsea components and control systems for applications in water depths of up to 3,000 meters, demonstrating an integrated architecture connecting subsea production equipment, electric well completion technologies, topside controls and digital systems.
By replacing hydraulic actuation with electric systems, the technology can eliminate hydraulic fluid distribution infrastructure, simplify subsea field layouts and improve control and monitoring capabilities.
The development builds on more than five million operating hours accumulated by OneSubsea’s electrified subsea systems. Separately, the company’s all-electric technology is advancing toward commercial deployment through Equinor’s Fram Sør project in Norway, which includes 12 all-electric subsea trees.
- DOF SECURES SUBSEA INSTALLATION CONTRACT IN AFRICA FOR SKANDI ACERGY
DOF Group has secured a subsea installation contract in Africa, classified by the company as Significant, representing a contract value between US$15 million and US$25 million.
The project will be executed by Skandi Acergy, with offshore operations scheduled to begin in early Q1 2027 and continue for approximately 100 days.
The scope includes project management, engineering, logistics, transportation and installation of subsea production systems (SPS) for deepwater field developments.
Engineering and planning will be managed by DOF’s Atlantic region teams in Bergen and Aberdeen, while Skandi Acergy will execute the offshore installation campaign. The contract adds to DOF’s order backlog for 2027.
- BRAZIL APPROVES R$2.29 BILLION IN MARITIME AND SHIPYARD PROJECTS
Brazil’s Merchant Marine Fund (FMM) has approved financing priority for 55 maritime, shipyard and port infrastructure projects in the Southeast region, representing R$2.29 billion in planned investments and an estimated 1,700 direct jobs.
Rio de Janeiro accounts for R$1.02 billion across 15 projects, including R$288.9 million for the modernization of Aliança Shipyard in Niterói and R$532.3 million for upgrades to the Carolina drillship and Victoria semisubmersible drilling unit, both associated with Petrobras contracts.
Other approved projects include R$104.5 million for maintenance and docking of GranEnergia’s CSS Venus, R$81.9 million covering six OceanPact vessels, and R$11 million for four Camorim vessels. Some of these vessel interventions have already been completed.
In Espírito Santo, the Hanseatic Global Terminals Aracruz project accounts for R$1.119 billion, including a planned 750-meter quay and 17-meter water depth. São Paulo accounts for R$155.8 million for the construction of 40 barges at Rio Maguari’s Araçatuba facility.
The approvals establish financing priorities for projects supporting Brazil’s offshore, ship repair, maritime transportation and port sectors.
