New 'carbon capture' technology to be used in Brazilian offshore wells and subsea systems introduced to replace some platforms in the Campos basin in Brazil.

With 17 ongoing subsea system projects, FMC is the leader in manufacture and deployment of complete subsea systems in Brazil. In August 2009 FMC signed a US$90 million contract with Petrobras to supply a subsea separation system for its Marlim field.

With the development of the deepwater 'pre-salt' fields in Brazil, new specialized Subsea companies are being established in Rio de Janeiro and Macaé. DOF Subsea is on the top of the list of these new companies, bringing vast Subsea experience and state of art technology to the Brazilian offshore industry.

New deepwater pre-salt field off southern Bahia potential still high, even though post-salt samples showed poor results. Statoil secures participation in five bacins along the Brazilian coast and invests heavily in subsea technology.

Subsea system development in Brazilian offshore deepwater and the companies that develop and install these systems.

The Deep Water Education Center (Centro de Educação em Águas Profundas) is a unique ROV pilot training facility owned and operated by RRC Robotica in partnership with Perry Slingby Systems. The new facility was inaugurated in August 2009.

The challenge of maintaining unobstructed and undamaged multi-well flowlines in deepwater subsea systems along the brazilian seabed.

FMC Technologies leads the industry in subsea all–electric technology. Environmentaly friendly and offering operational cost reductions, this technology should be used in large scale in Brazilian subsea fields in the near future.
