Houston-based Oceaneering International has been awarded several subsea robotics contracts from Petrobras during the second quarter of 2025, following a competitive tender.
The deals were secured by the company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Marine Production Systems do Brasil (MPS). The anticipated aggregate revenue from the contracts is approximately $180m.
Oceaneering will provide work-class ROV services, specialised tooling packages, and survey services onboard multiple anchor handling and ROV support vessels working on Petrobras projects offshore Brazil.
The scope of work includes ROV support of inspection, maintenance, repair, and decommissioning activities, as well as services related to surface and subsea positioning, FPSO hook-ups, mooring inspections, and pile installations.
Each contract has a duration of four years with options to extend. The contracts are expected to commence on various dates in the third and fourth quarters of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026.
Through MPS, Oceaneering operates multiple facilities, including a centre for ROV, survey, subsea intervention tooling, and engineered solutions, an onshore remote operations centre in Macaé, and an umbilical manufacturing plant in Niterói.
