石油设备网讯 据油气新闻4月18日消息称，巴西TechnipFMC公司授予巴西瓦卢瑞克钢管公司约1.2万吨外径为8和10的无缝钢管。
该管道将用于建造13口井(6口生产井和7口水交替注气井)的立管和流量系统，这些井将安装在Libra巨型油藏的Mero 1盐下油田。Libra占地面积1550平方公里，相当于巴西圣保罗市的规模，可采储量约为80亿至120亿桶石油之间。
Libra区块是根据与巴西国家石油公司（40％股份）作为运营商的联合协议开发的，壳牌（20％）、道达尔（20％）、中海油（10％）、中石油（10％）和Pre-Sal石油公司（国有公司，Libra 财团合同管理公司）为其合作伙伴。
Mero油田位于里约热内卢海岸约180公里处，处于超深海域，拥有高品质的碳酸盐岩储层，预计产量很高。
瓦卢瑞克钢管公司南美洲高级副总裁Alexandre Lyra宣称：“我们非常自豪能够参与这项重大的石油开发，这对巴西和瓦卢瑞克来说都具有战略意义。该合同反映了我们针对超深水油田刚性立管和流量系统的集成解决方案的价值。该合同确认了瓦卢瑞克为客户提供刚性管道解决方案的策略是合适的。我们知道市场已经到了一个拐点，对刚性立管的需求将会增加。在这样的深度和距离海岸的距离，刚性管道为此类项目的使用寿命提供了最可持续的解决方案。”
瓦卢瑞克管道供应将于2019年底开始。
巴西是瓦卢瑞克的主要市场之一，也是主要的生产和出口中心。巴西的活动包括两个主要的工业基地，包括铸管、轧制和精加工设施，以及两个专门用于O＆G市场的高度专业化的服务公司，以及一个铁矿石和种植的桉树林。

TechnipFMC orders Vallourec pipes for Mero 1 project
Vallourec Solucoes Tubulares do Brasil has been awarded by TechnipFMC in Brazil to supply around 12,000 tons of seamless steel rigid line pipe with outside diameters 8” and 10”.
The pipe will be used in the fabrication of the riser and flowline system for interconnecting 13 wells (6 production wells and 7 water alternate gas injection wells), to be installed in the pre-salt field Mero 1, which is part of the giant Libra reservoir. Libra covers an area of 1,550 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, with recoverable reserves estimated in the range of 8 to 12 billion of barrels of oil.
The Libra Block has been developed under a consortium agreement with Petrobras (40% share) as operator, and with Shell (20%), Total (20%), CNOOC Limited (10%), CNPC (10%) and Pre-Sal Petroleo – PPSA (state owned company, manager of Libra Consortium contract) as the other consortium partners.
The Mero field is located around 180 kilometers off the Rio de Janeiro coast, in ultra-deep waters and has high quality carbonate reservoirs with expected high well productivity.
“We are very proud to be taking part in this major oil development, which is strategic for Brazil and for Vallourec. The award reflects the value of our integrated solution for rigid riser and flowline systems for ultra-deep water fields. This contract confirms that the strategy implemented by Vallourec to provide the clients with rigid line-pipe solutions is appropriate. We understand the market has reached an inflexion point where the demand for rigid risers will increase. At such depths and distance from the shore, rigid line pipe offers the most sustainable solution for the lifetime of such projects” declared Alexandre Lyra, Senior Vice President South America, Vallourec.
Vallourec pipe supply will start at the end of 2019.
Brazil is one of the key markets and a main production and export hub for Vallourec. The activities in Brazil comprise two main industrial sites, with steel casting pipe, rolling and finishing facilities, and two highly specialized service companies for O&G market, as well as one iron ore mine and planted eucalyptus forest.
