Moreover, Baker Hughes will deliver 32 modular, structured, subsea control modules, called Modpods.

Baker Hughes Latin America oilfield equipment and Brazil vice-president Adyr Tourinho said: “This contract is a culmination of our multi-year engagement with Petrobras and builds on our history supplying subsea production systems to deepwater projects in Brazil.

“Our lightweight, compact technology is engineered to combat the most demanding conditions found in today’s deepwater environments.”

Baker Hughes plans to manufacture, test and assemble the manifold systems at its Centre of Excellence facility in Jandira, Brazil.

The Marlim and Voador field revitalisation plan involves the replacement of all existing facilities with two new floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units.
