Oil States Industries Wins Contract from Subsea 7 for Guara and Lula Fields Offshore Brazil

 

Oil States International, Inc. announced that its Oil States Industries subsidiary has been awarded a contract from Subsea 7 to supply 27 FlexJoint(R) Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) terminations and 40 receptacle assemblies for the Guara and Lula NE oilfields in Brazil. This order represents part of one of the largest EPIC SURF contract awarded to date in Brazil and is one of the world’s largest contracts for SCR end terminations ever awarded.

The Guara and Lula NE fields are part of the giant pre-salt discoveries made by Petrobras in the Santos Basin, Brazil, at a water depth of over 2,100 meters. Manufacturing of the FlexJoint(R) equipment will be performed by Oil States at its Texas, Louisiana, Singapore, UK and Macae’ Brazil locations, with weld qualification and execution to be managed by Oil States ATS-Cybersolda in Brazil. The project will also be supported by the sales and projects office of Oil States in Rio de Janeiro.

Delivery of the FlexJoint(R) equipment is scheduled to begin in 2012. Oil States’ scope of supply will also incorporate the exclusive field-proven bellows and HPHT FlexJoint technology that Oil States developed for the offshore industry.

“We are very pleased to be chosen by Subsea 7 to support them on this large and important project,” said Marcio Robles, Oil States Brasil’s director of sales and business development. “We deeply appreciate the confidence Subsea 7 has placed in us and look forward to a successful collaboration going forward.”
