Equinor hosted a celebration at Confab, Tenaris’s welded mill in Pindamonhangaba, Brazil, to commemorate the completion of steel pipe production for the Raia project, one of the most significant offshore energy developments in Brazil to date. The event brought together leaders and project teams from both companies, reflecting the strong collaboration that has driven the success of this endeavor.
The Raia project includes the construction of a 200-kilometer subsea gas pipeline that will link a next-generation FPSO in the Campos Basin to the gas network at the Cabiúnas terminal in Macaé.
The pipes and coatings for the Raia pipeline, a total of 83,000 tons, were manufactured in Confab under our integrated One Line™ service. Pipes for the deepest sections of the pipeline incorporated advanced collapse-resistant designs, capable of withstanding water depths of up to 2,900 meters. Coating service includes internal coating to enhance gas flow, external anti-corrosion protection, and concrete layers for negative buoyancy and mechanical protection.
