(World Oil) – Oceaneering International has been awarded a four-year contract by Petrobras to provide remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services supporting offshore operations in Brazil.
The contract, awarded through a competitive tender process, will be executed by Oceaneering’s Brazilian subsidiary, Marine Production Systems do Brasil (MPS). Operations are scheduled to begin in 2027.
Under the agreement, Oceaneering will supply two work-class ROV systems, specialized subsea tooling packages, and monitoring and positioning support services. The equipment will be deployed from AKOFS Offshore’s subsea engineering support vessel (SESV) Aker Wayfarer, which Petrobras has contracted to support subsea intervention, installation and abandonment activities offshore Brazil.
The work will be carried out by Oceaneering’s local operations team in Brazil.
“We are pleased to build on our long-standing relationship with Petrobras through this award,” said Simão Silva, Oceaneering’s Brazil country manager. “It underscores our role as a trusted subsea services provider in Brazil and adds long-term visibility in an important deepwater market.”
Oceaneering has supported Petrobras’ subsea engineering campaigns for more than a decade. The company has operated in Brazil for nearly 30 years through MPS, maintaining facilities in Macaé for ROV, survey, subsea intervention tooling and engineered solutions, as well as an onshore remote operations center. It also operates an umbilical manufacturing facility in Niterói.
