This contract covers the supply of around 200 km of flexible pipes and associated equipment, including gas lift, gas and water injection, gas export and production lines. These high technological flexible pipes are designed to meet pre-salt challenges with water depths of up to 2500 m and high pressures.

Technip鈥檚 operating center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will perform the project management and engineering. The flexible pipes will be produced at Technip's manufacturing sites of Vitoria and A莽u, Brazil. Delivery is scheduled to start in the second half of 2015.

Adriano Novitsky, President of Technip in Brazil, commented: 鈥淟ula Alto is a major project for Technip in Brazil. Its size contributes to improving even more the workload visibility of our manufacturing plants.
