**Baker Hughes to Deliver Corrosion-Resistant Pipes for Petrobras’ Offshore Presalt Fields in Brazil**
Petrobras has recently awarded a significant contract to Baker Hughes, a leading provider of oil and gas equipment and services, to supply 77 kilometers of flexible pipe systems designed to counter corrosion in Brazil’s deepwater presalt fields offshore. This substantial project marks the latest in a series of agreements between the two companies this year.
The flexible pipe systems are set to be deployed across various fields operated by Petrobras, including the Buzios, Libra, Berbigão, Sururu, and Sepia fields in the Santos Basin. These pipes will be used for hydrocarbon production, associated gas and water injection, and storage purposes. Additionally, Baker Hughes will provide crucial installation and maintenance support for this project, with delivery scheduled to begin in mid-2026.
This collaboration between Petrobras and Baker Hughes underscores the importance of advanced corrosion-resistant materials in the deepwater offshore sector. Corrosion can be a significant challenge in such environments, threatening the integrity and longevity of subsea equipment. The use of flexible, corrosion-countering pipes will help ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of Petrobras’ offshore assets.
The agreement with Baker Hughes is part of a broader strategy by Petrobras to optimize its operations in Brazil’s pre- and post-salt fields. Other recent contracts include additional flexible pipe systems and associated services, well construction services in the Buzios field, and integrated solutions for workover and plug and abandonment (P&A) services across both pre- and post-salt fields[2][3].
Petrobras’ ongoing initiatives to enhance its offshore infrastructure reflect its commitment to domestic energy production and reducing reliance on imports. By leveraging state-of-the-art equipment like the corrosion-countering pipes from Baker Hughes, Petrobras can maintain high levels of production efficiency while safeguarding against potential risks associated with corrosion.
