UK firm to perform subsea inspections offshore Brazil

UK provider of remotely deployed subsea inspections TSC Subsea has secured a multi-year contract with an undisclosed operator to deliver subsea inspection of insulated flexible pipes in the pre-salt region offshore Brazil.

Under the contract seen as “significant”, TSC Subsea is in charge of performing inspections using ART and ARTEMIS to collect acoustic data from the flexible pipe body and deploying client-patented techniques using subsea phased array (SPA) ultrasonics or pressure measurements.

The work will be performed on a continuous basis from 2024 to 2026.

The UK company did not reveal any additional information about the client but did say it was a major operator.

“We’re incredibly proud to have been selected to execute this contract. It’s a testament to our expertise and the quality of our services. This contract will enable our client to mitigate the SCC-CO2 risk by detecting unwanted media in the annulus region of their flexible pipes. I would like to thank everyone who helped us reach this milestone, from our outstanding offshore teams and office staff to our R&D teams, sales, and commercial departments,” said Fabio Puga, Country Manager at TSC Subsea.
