CRP Subsea to supply buoyancy solution to a deepwater oil field in Brazil

Distributed buoyancy modules will be used to ensure a dynamic subsea lazy-wave configuration.

CRP Subsea have recently secured a substantial contract with a leading energy technology company.  The contract involves the supply of distributed buoyancy modules (DBMs) to a deepwater oil field project situated in the pre-salt Santos Basin, offshore Brazil.

The DBMs will play a vital role in supporting risers, which transport fluids from subsea facilities to a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel. Specifically engineered, the DBMs will enable a dynamic subsea lazy-wave configuration, effectively reducing the top tension at the termination point.  The clamping solution is meticulously designed to provide controlled, circumferential clamping pressure around the riser. This not only maintains the position of the DBM but also eliminates the risk of pipeline damage, and extends the operational life of the field.

Ben Stubbens, Head of Sales at CRP Subsea states:

"Securing this contract demonstrates our commitment to a key customers and highlights the trusted partnership we've built. It is great that our market-leading clamping technology is consistently chosen as the preferred solution. This achievement reflects the expertise of our team and our dedication to delivering high-quality, tailored solutions. We look forward to future collaborations and the opportunity to contribute to additional projects for our valued customer."

Manufacturing will take place at our state-of-the-art facility in the North West of England. Project engineering works are set to commence immediately, with delivery scheduled for next year.

Product information

Distributed buoyancy modules (DBMs) are typically used between structures and a surface vessel or platform, providing uplift generated by a two-part buoyancy element and a clamp. Our unique clamping solutions allows DBMs to be securely attached at any point along the length of a rigid or flexible pipeline or cable and ensures the modules maintain their position.
