Portuguese engineering and construction company Mota-Engil has, through its subsidiary, won two contracts with Brazilian state-owned giant Petrobras.
The company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Empresa Constructora do Brasil, won a deal worth 1.56bn reais ($274m) for an estimated term of 60 months, comprising recovery and final removal services of 420 km of flexible lines at the Marlim, Marlim Sul, and Marlim Leste offshore oil fields. The new contract also includes the execution of engineering, preparation, recovery, and final removal services.
This entails offshore collection, transportation, dismantling, and collection of leftovers from the pipelines, hydraulic umbilicals, and electrical cables, as well as subsea components and equipment, at the three fields. Work on the project will be done in depths between 700 and 2,000 m.
The second deal with Petrobras is worth approximately 1.61bn reais ($283m). The agreement will last for 48 months and involves the execution of a series of maintenance, construction, and assembly services on offshore oil platforms.
The work includes the installation of pipelines, fabrication and installation of metal structures, boilermaking services such as opening and closing vessels, filters, tanks, towers and heat exchangers, as well as scaffolding assembly, painting, electrical maintenance, instrumentation, and automation.
These two latest deals increase Mota-Engil’s backlog in Brazil, which already amounts to over $1bn.
