SLB OneSubsea has secured a contract from Petrobras for the supply of subsea production systems and services for two ultra-deepwater projects offshore Brazil.
The contract encompasses the further development of the Atapu and Sepia oilfields in the Santos Basin.
Its scope includes the provision of Petrobras-standard configured pre-salt vertical trees, subsea distribution units, subsea control and pipeline systems.
SLB OneSubsea will also be responsible for the installation, commissioning and life-of-field services of these systems.
The majority of the technology and equipment, such as the vertical trees and subsea control systems, will be produced and serviced at SLB OneSubsea’s local facilities in Brazil.
SLB OneSubsea CEO Mads Hjelmeland said: “This award deepens our valued partnership with Petrobras, and we are proud to be supporting the development of such important assets to Brazil.

In May, TotalEnergies, in collaboration with consortium partners, announced the final investment decision for the second-phase development of the Atapu and Sépia offshore fields.
This decision was key for the advancement of these pre-salt fields, which will see the integration of two new floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units, each designed to handle 225,000 barrels of oil per day.
The Atapu field, which has been operational since 2020 through the P-70 FPSO, is set to receive an additional FPSO, the Atapu-2, as part of this expansion.
Petrobras holds a 65.7% stake and operates the field, while TotalEnergies has a 15% stake. Shell, Petrogal and PPSA own 16.7%, 1.7% and 0.9% stakes, respectively.
The Sépia field, initiated in 2021 via the Carioca FPSO, will also undergo expansion with the introduction of a new-build FPSO, Sépia-2.
TotalEnergies has a 16.9% interest in the field, with Petrobras as the operator with a 55.3% stake, followed by Petronas and QatarEnergy, each holding 12.7%, and Petrogal with 2.4%.
