BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 7. TechnipFMC has
secured a significant subsea contract from Brazil’s Petrobras to
supply flexible pipe systems for offshore developments, TechnipFMC
said.
Under the contract, TechnipFMC will design, engineer and
manufacture flexible flowlines for use across multiple pre-salt
fields offshore Brazil. The project will draw on the company’s
local engineering, manufacturing and supply chain capabilities,
further supporting Brazil’s offshore energy industry.
“This award highlights the confidence Petrobras continues to
place in TechnipFMC’s execution capabilities,” Jonathan Landes,
President of Subsea at TechnipFMC, said.
He added that the company’s flexible solutions and ongoing
industrialization efforts are aimed at improving efficiency,
consistency and predictability while supporting Petrobras’ offshore
developments and project schedules.
For TechnipFMC, a “significant” contract is valued between $75
million and $250 million. The award was included in the company’s
third-quarter 2026 inbound orders.
TechnipFMC has a longstanding presence in Brazil and has worked
with Petrobras on offshore developments for decades. The company
operates engineering and manufacturing facilities in the country,
including its flexible pipe manufacturing facility in Açu,
Brazil.
Brazil is one of TechnipFMC’s key markets for flexible pipe
technology, particularly for deepwater and pre-salt developments.
In 2025, the company was awarded two Petrobras flexible pipe
contracts, with manufacturing to be carried out exclusively at its
Açu facility. The contracts covered flexible gas injection risers
as well as flexible risers and flowlines for assets in the Santos
and Campos basins.
TechnipFMC has also supplied flexible pipe and subsea equipment
for Petrobras’ pre-salt projects. In 2024, the company was awarded
two Petrobras subsea contracts covering flexible pipe and subsea
production systems for the Atapu 2, Sepia 2 and Roncador projects,
with equipment and products to be manufactured and serviced locally
in Brazil.
The company continues to develop flexible pipe technologies for
offshore applications, building on its manufacturing capabilities
and longstanding work with Petrobras.
TechnipFMC is a technology provider to the traditional and new
energy industries, operating through its Subsea and Surface
Technologies segments. Its portfolio includes integrated projects,
products and services, as well as proprietary technologies and
