of eight subsea jumpers linking six wells, umbilical installation surveys, and pre-engineering and as-built surveys to generate detailed 3D models of the subsea environment.Key technical tasks involved the installation of eight 29-metre jumpers with millimeter accuracy, precise laying of two umbilicals, 5 km and 2 km in length, and providing 3D visualization to detect and correct misalignments.Also, the scope of the job covered verification surveys to ensure alignment and structural integrity.Four-Stage ProcessTSB - PRC 3D Point Cloud during the Pre-Engineering Survey (Credit: MCS Group)The operation
Oil Firms Urge Brazil to Review Subsea7 - Saipem Merger
.The deal is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, the companies said.In its filing with Cade, Petrobras said the transaction would impact the company, as it relies on the firms for its core business. Exxon said the deal would lead to a high concentration of contractors offering subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines, or SURF projects, reducing competition and customer choice.TechnipFMC, a rival services provider, said the deal would limit the ability of other players to compete.(Reuters - Reporting by Rodrigo Viga Gaier; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama Writing by Fabio Teixeira
