Houston-based subsea and deepwater engineering and construction player McDermott has won a contract from PRIO, formerly PetroRio, for work on the Wahoo field, offshore Brazil.
The deal covers the transportation and installation of around 30 km of coated 10-inch rigid pipelines and associated subsea structures. Once installed, the pipelines will connect the Wahoo field to the Frade floating production storage and offloading unit.
McDermott did not disclose the contract’s value but said it also includes an extension option for a second pipeline.
The installation activities will be performed by one of McDermott’s rigid pipelay vessels 30 km north of the already-producing Frade field in Brazil’s Campos basin.
