ABL Energy & Marine Consultants Brasil has been appointed as Marine Warranty Surveyor (MWS) to support Subsea7 with the transportation and installation campaign for the SURF infrastructure for the Mero 3 and 4 developments offshore Brazil.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mero 3 and Mero 4 projects envisage the subsequent build-up of subsea pipelines and associated SURF (subsea risers and flowlines) infrastructure, at both fields in Brazil\u2019s Santos Basin, at water depths between 1,850 and 2,100 meters.<\/p>\n

The scope will encompass pipelines installed on Mero 3 (FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias) and on Mero 4 (FPSO Alexandre de Gusm\u00e3o) Projects.<\/p>\n

ABL\u2019s scope of work will include the technical document review and approval of operational and engineering documentation, suitability surveys of the fleet proposed, on-site attendance to witness and approve all critical onshore and offshore operations, approval of limiting environmental criteria, and attendance at all HAZID and HAZOP meetings.<\/p>\n

ABL\u2019s operation in Brazil will be responsible for delivering this scope with offshore transportation and installation (T&I) work currently underway. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to support Subsea7 in this important next phase development of the Santos basin. Our track record as MWS on Mero 1 and 2 demonstrates ABL\u2019s experience in the Mero Field and our contribution to the safe and successful installation of SURF infrastructure in Brazil\u2019s deep waters.\u201d Andreas Theophanatos, ABL\u2019s Regional Director for Brazil.<\/p>\n

The operation of the unitized Mero field is conducted by the Consortium operated by Petrobras (38.6%), in partnership with Shell Brasil (19.3%), TotalEnergies (19.3%), CNPC (9.65%), CNOOC (9.65%) and Pr\u00e9-Sal Petr\u00f3leo S.A (PPSA) (3.5%), as contract manager and the Brazilian Government\u2019s representative in the non-contracted area. <\/p>\n

ABL\u2019s operation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the founding offices of the global consultancy ABL Group. Combining the market-leading MWS expertise of London Offshore Consultants in Brazil, acquired in 2020, it has supported more than 14 FPSO T&I campaigns since 2020 alone. Its track record also includes significant experience across the Buzios Field developments, Brazil\u2019s largest oil field. ABL Brazil has additional surveyor and consultancy presence in Santar\u00e9m, Itaja\u00ed and Salvador.<\/p>\n

ABL is part of the global consultancy ABL Group ASA, which is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n
