Energy and marine consultancy ABL has been appointed as a marine warranty surveyor to support Subsea 7 with the transportation and installation campaign for the SURF infrastructure for Petrobras’ Mero 3 and 4 developments offshore Brazil. Mero 3 and Mero 4 projects envisage the subsequent build-up of subsea pipelines and associated SURF infrastructure, at both fields in Brazil’s Santos Basin, at water depths between 1,850 and 2,100 m. The scope will encompass pipelines installed on Mero 3 and Mero 4, which incorporate the Marechal Duque de Caxias and Alexandre de Gusmão FPSOs, respectively. ABL’s scope of work will include technical document review and approval of operational and engineering documentation; suitability surveys of the proposed fleet; on-site attendance to witness and approve all critical onshore and offshore operations; approval of limiting environmental criteria; and attendance at all HAZID and HAZOP meetings. ABL’s operation in Brazil will be responsible for delivering this scope with offshore transportation and installation work currently underway. The operation of the unitised Mero field is carried out by a consortium led by Petrobras, in partnership with Shell, TotalEnergies, CNPC, CNOOC, and Pré-Sal Petróleo. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsBrazil Norway United Kingdom
