Exail Supplies LBL Positioning Systems for Deepwater Projects in Brazil and Angola
development, Exail is supplying a network of 56 Canopus acoustic transponders paired with Rovins inertial navigation systems (INS). This installation establishes the primary subsea positioning reference required for the field’s critical construction phases. In Angola, on a mature offshore oil field, Exail’s technology is supporting the expansion of existing subsea infrastructure. By interfacing Ramses acoustic transceivers with ROV inertial navigation suites, the system enables the precise and safe integration of new pipelines and subsea structures within the established field architecture
Baker Hughes to Supply Up to 50 Subsea Trees for Petrobras' Brazil Fields
Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, has secured a contract from Petrobras to supply up to 50 subsea tree systems and associated services to support offshore oil and gas production across multiple fields in Brazil.The modern subsea systems will enhance recovery in established fields including Albacora, Jubarte and Barracuda-Caratinga. They will also be deployed in more recent pre-salt developments, including the Mero and Buzios fields, to optimize production in new wells.Under the agreement, Baker Hughes will manufacture Petrobras’ pre-salt standard subsea trees, as well as subsea distribut

Expro Gets Woodside Job at Trion Deepwater Project off Mexico
Texas-based oilfield services provider Expro has secured a three-year contract by Woodside Energy to provide tubular running services (TRS) and cementing services for the Trion project, Mexico’s first deepwater oil production facility.Woodside and Expro have a long-standing partnership, with Expro supporting well construction activities in Mexico during the exploration phase.As part of the project, Woodside Energy will manage operations from its Tampico shore base and office, while Expro is actively establishing a new hub in the area, supporting local employment and contributing to the economic
Baker Hughes Launches All-Electric Subsea Production System
designs to be seamlessly updated for electric operations, while electro-hydraulic trees currently operating in mature assets can be retrofitted for full electrification.This transition will result in enhanced production control, increased reliability and lower carbon emissions throughout the life of the field. The elimination of hydraulics will also result in reduced cost, time and complexity of subsea installations.The all-electric subsea production system is designed for shallow and deep-water developments, making it ideal for subsea carbon capture, utilization and storage fields as well as long offset
TechnipFMC to Supply Subsea Production System for Shell’s Nigerian Deepwater Project
Oilfield services company TechnipFMC has secured a contract with Shell’s subsidiary, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo) to supply its Subsea 2.0 production systems for the Bonga North development offshore Nigeria.The contract, valued between $250 million and $500 million, covers the design and manufacture of subsea tree systems, manifolds, jumpers, controls, and services.Shell recently made a final investment decision (FID) on deepwater Bonga North development, which will be a subsea tie-back to the Shell-operated Bonga Floating Production Storage and Offloading
Scottish Subsea Robotics Firm Gets Seven-Figure Investment Boost
work through its fleet of autonomous, all-electric submarines.Namely, the company aims to capture a 20% global market share within the next decade using a fleet of its Loggerhead submarine systems.Loggerhead deploys ROVs from a mothership submarine once it arrives at a work site, such as a wind farm or oil field, with the vehicles controlled by operators safely onshore from a control room, all while harnessing advanced communications technology and AI.As well as reducing costs, the system is said to be able to replace heavily crewed vessels, which typically run on diesel engines, removing the equivalent
SLB OneSubsea to Design All-Electric Subsea System for Equinor’s Fram Sør Field
Oilfield services company SLB has, through its joint venture OneSubsea, secured a contract from Equinor for the front-end engineering design (FEED) of a 12-well, all-electric subsea production systems project in the Fram Sør field, offshore Norway.The project could help fast-track wide-scale global adoption of electric subsea technology, setting new standards for increased operator control, subsea operational efficiency and reduced offshore emissions.As part of the agreement, future engineering, procurement and construction will be directly awarded to SLB OneSubsea conditional on a final
