Connector Subsea Solutions and Petrobras formalize collaboration on subsea tech

Norway’s Connector Subsea Solutions has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Brazilian state-owned energy giant Petrobras to advance subsea technology and distribution equipment.

The agreement focuses on the development of qualified ball valves for Petrobras’ subsea systems, which are often deployed in harsh and ultra-deepwater conditions.

“The MoU strengthens our long-standing relationship and represents a significant milestone towards our strategic focus of delivering reliable solutions to the region,” said Kristian Karlsen, Senior Sales Executive & Technical Authority, Connector Subsea Solutions.

“We look forward to contributing our expertise and working closely with Petrobras to deliver high-performance solutions tailored for complex subsea applications.”

Connector Subsea Solutions, together with two other Norwegian firms, HTS Dynamics and TESS Subsea & Engineering, recently formed the Subsea Distribution Alliance to streamline subsea infrastructure delivery.
