OceanPact has signed a contract worth over R$1 billion with Trident Energy do Brasil to perform offshore decommissioning services under the Engineering, Preparation, Removal and Disposal (EPRD) model. The project encompasses the subsea infrastructure of the remaining production systems of the P-07, P-12 and P-15 platforms in the Campos Basin. It is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2026 and will last up to three years.
The contract provides for the use of ROV support vessels (RSVs) from the OceanPact fleet, specially prepared for decommissioning operations. The activities will include engineering work, detailed mapping, and removal of flexible lines and subsea equipment with the support of remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs), as well as cutting and disconnections. OceanPact will also handle onshore dismantling and environmentally appropriate final disposal, prioritizing recycling and stimulation of the circular economy.
“This decommissioning contract reflects the joint efforts of our business units and subsidiaries in seeking operational synergies and efficiency gains,” said Érik Fabian Cunha, OceanPact’s commercial and marketing director. “We were able to structure a competitive proposal based on a robust, reliable and operationally safe technical solution.”
OceanPact brings together all the necessary skills to deliver a complete and integrated offshore decommissioning solution. EnvironPact, a specialized subsidiary of the company, will take on the environmental, operational safety and risk management stages. The Subsea Operations Area will be responsible for removing lines and structures, while OceanPact Geo will conduct assessments and surveys. OceanPact Log will handle onshore management and dismantling. With the support of its own fleet, OceanPact will guarantee the execution of offshore activities with maximum efficiency, safety and reliability.
Possessing 28 vessels and the largest inventory of offshore emergency response equipment in Latin America, OceanPact has established itself as a Brazilian company capable of delivering a complete cycle of decommissioning projects.
The signing of the contract with Trident Energy expands the company’s presence in the subsea engineering market. It also reaffirms its technical capacity, commitment to safety and use of sustainable practices in the responsible closure of offshore operations, in accordance with global best practices and Brazilian regulatory requirements.
