Petrobras picks Oceaneering for ROV services

Oceaneering Houston-based Oceaneering International has been awarded a contract from Brazil’s state-owned giant Petrobras to deliver ROV services offshore Brazil. The contract, awarded to Oceaneering’s Brazilian subsidiary, Marine Production Systems do Brasil, follows a competitive tender process. The contract term is four years, and operations are expected to begin in 2027. Oceaneering will supply two work-class ROVs and specialised tooling packages in addition to carrying out monitoring and positioning support operations offshore Brazil. The ROV systems will be deployed from AKOFS Offshore’s subsea engineering support vessel Aker Wayfarer , which Petrobras has contracted for intervention, installation, and abandonment support scopes. The project will be executed by Oceaneering’s local team in Brazil.
