Subsea7 Wins Supermajor Petrobras Contract for Sepia 2 in Brazil

Subsea7 has distinguished itself in a highly competitive tender process by securing a "supermajor" contract from Petrobras for the development of the Sépia 2 field. Located 280 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro at depths of 2,170 meters, this project underscores Subsea7’s ability to manage the extreme technical demands of Brazil's pre-salt Santos Basin, a feat that separates the company from less specialized offshore contractors. By leveraging an integrated approach to engineering and installation, Subsea7 maintains its market leadership in one of the world's most complex maritime environments.

Comprehensive Subsea Infrastructure Development
The project involves a massive scope of work encompassing the engineering, procurement, fabrication, and installation of subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines, commonly referred to as SURF. This infrastructure will support 17 wells, including a gas export line equipped with 18 risers. The inclusion of two wells from the previous Sépia 1 project further demonstrates the company's ability to integrate new technology with existing deepwater assets. This contract is a pivotal component of Brazil’s energy expansion, requiring a level of precision and local content commitment that serves as a benchmark for the industry.

Global Engineering Synergy and Execution
Operations are set to begin immediately across Subsea7’s specialized hubs in Rio de Janeiro, Paris, and Sutton, with the offshore execution phase scheduled for 2029. This award reinforces a long-standing partnership with Petrobras and highlights Subsea7’s competitive advantage: the ability to deliver predictable results on projects of national importance. Through disciplined execution and a robust local presence in Brazil, the company continues to provide the high-tech solutions necessary to unlock energy resources at extreme water depths where traditional methods are insufficient.
