The first contract, won in partnership with Aker Solutions do Brasil, is for the LAPA Southwest development project, a deepwater oil field聽 in the Santos Basin in the聽South Atlantic, 270 kilometres off the coast of聽S茫o Paulo,聽Brazil. The client is Total Energies.
The contract encompasses the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) as well as a subsea production system (SPS).
The LAPA SW development project is the first ever integrated SURF and SPS project awarded by TotalEnergies, according to Saipem.
