Aker Solutions has been awarded with a sizeable contract by TotalEnergies to provide the subsea production system, tools and all related EPCI interfaces for the Lapa South West field Construction, in the pre-salt Santos Basin offshore Brazil. 

The development concept is a subsea tie-back to the Cidade de Caraguatatuba FPSO, using existing facilities and infrastructure.

Aker Solutions will deliver a subsea production system including up to three subsea trees and control systems, tie-in, structures and subsea umbilicals, as well as associated equipment and installation work. The scope also covers EPCI interface management, in partnership with Saipem Brazil, and Control System upgrade of the existing Lapa South West subsea trees. Work starts immediately with deliveries scheduled from the first quarter of 2024 until the fourth quarter of 2024.

“We are pleased to be selected to execute the Lapa South West subsea project. The Brazilian offshore market is becoming increasingly diverse with regard to work scope and customer opportunity. We look forward to extending our long-standing relationship with TotalEnergies, as representative of Lapa JV, to the Brazilian market and to further enhance the hydrocarbon potential of Brazil,” said Maria Peralta, Executive Vice President and head of Aker Solutions' Subsea business.
