Vallourec Soluçoes Tubulares do Brasil has been awarded by TechnipFMC in Brazil to supply around 12,000 tons of seamless steel rigid line pipe with outside diameters 8″ and 10″.
The pipe will be used in the fabrication of the riser and flowline system for interconnecting 13 wells (6 production wells and 7 water alternate gas injection wells), to be installed in the pre-salt field Mero 1, which is part of the giant Libra reservoir.
The Mero field is located around 180 km off the Rio de Janeiro coast, in ultra-deep waters and has high-quality carbonate reservoirs with expected high well productivity.
Vallourec pipe supply will start at the end of 2019.
