Subsea7 has clinched a significant contract from Shell for the decommissioning of subsea infrastructure linked to the FPSO Fluminense in the Bijupirá and Salema fields of the Campos Basin, situated at a water depth of 700 meters.

The scope of Subsea7's responsibilities encompasses the disconnection, recovery, and environmentally sound disposal of 10 flexible risers, three umbilicals, and nine mooring lines. The offshore operations are slated to commence in December 2023.

Yann Cottart, Vice-President of Subsea7 Brazil, expressed, "Twenty years ago, Subsea7 installed the flexibles and umbilicals for Shell’s Bijupirá and Salema fields, and, two decades later, we’re proud to be one of Shell’s chosen contractors to take part in the completion of this field’s life cycle."

This contract underscores Subsea7's expertise in subsea operations and its continued collaboration with major players in the oil and gas industry. As the industry evolves, decommissioning projects become increasingly vital, and Subsea7's role in closing the life cycle of the Bijupirá and Salema fields marks a testament to its capabilities and long-standing partnership with Shell.
