Aker Solutions, an oil services company, has delivered the first christmas tree for Petrobras’ FA 2011 60 XMT project.

According to Aker Solutions, the christmas tree was delivered to Brazil’s state-owned oil company before the contract deadline.

“The great execution is due to good planning from the start of the project, including steps such as engineering, release of purchasing materials and supplier delivery time and production,” said project manager from Aker Solutions, Alexandre Oliveira.

The company explained that the delivered christmas tree will operate in the pre-salt area of the Lula field, in the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil, at a water depth of approximately 2,000 meters.

The Lula field was discovered in 2012 and it is operated by Petrobras (65%) in partnership with BG E&P Brasil Ltda (25%) and Petrogal Brasil S.A (10%).
