The total award would bring the contract value to $1.5bn if all of the subsea equipment included in the agreement is ordered.
The initial call-off has an approximate value of $900m in revenue to FMC and includes 78 subsea trees.
FMC’s total scope of supply could include the delivery of up to 130 subsea trees, subsea multiplex controls and related tools and equipment.
The tree systems are for use offshore Brazil in water depths up to 8,200ft while the equipment will be engineered at FMC’s South American Technology Center and manufactured at FMC’s subsea facility, both of which are located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The subsea trees will achieve 70% Brazilian local content and deliveries are scheduled to commence in 2014.
