Tenaris has announced its participation in the Búzios 11 project, reinforcing the company’s key role in supplying Brazil’s offshore developments. It has secured the supply of seamless line pipe for risers and flowlines, and TenarisShawcor coatings for thermal insulation.
This will be the eleventh module of the Búzios field. It is located 180 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro in the Santos Basin, at a water depth of 2,100 meters. This phase foresees the construction of 15 wells connected to a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The collection system will rely exclusively on rigid lines (risers and flowlines) for production and injection.
The contract includes the supply of 18,000 tons (115 km) of seamless pipes produced at Dalmine, Tenaris’s manufacturing center in Italy. In addition, 112 km of pipes will be insulated with TenarisShawcor Marine 5-Layer Syntactic and Marine 5-Layer Solid coatings, to be applied at Confab, Tenaris’s mill in Pindamonhangaba, Brazil.
