Vallourec has secured a contract from Subsea7 to supply carbon steel seamless line pipe and thermal insulation coating for Petrobras’ Sepia 2 offshore project in Brazil’s pre-salt Santos Basin.
The contract covers approximately 130 km of rigid risers and flowlines, representing more than 15,000 tons of sour-service carbon steel line pipe. Vallourec will supply the project’s entire carbon steel line pipe and external coating scope under a single integrated offer.
The pipes will be produced at Vallourec’s Jeceaba mill in Minas Gerais, while thermal insulation coating will be applied at its Coating Solutions plant in Serra, Espirito Santo.
Sepia 2 is located in ultra-deep waters around 280 km offshore, with the FPSO to be installed at a water depth of approximately 2,170 meters. The project comprises 15 wells and an export pipeline connected to the new FPSO.
Vallourec will provide its Syntactic Polypropylene insulation technology to meet the thermal insulation requirements of the deepwater installation and operating conditions.
