Industrial technology company Tracerco has secured a contract from Technip to deliver its measurement and control solutions profiler for the multi-phase subsea separation work on Petrobras’ Mero 3 High Pressure Separator (HISEP) pilot project in the Brazilian pre-salt oil region.
Tracerco will supply its Tracerco Profiler instrument, which has been redesigned to deliver critical insights in a subsea environment.
It measures water/oil/gas phases in real-time and high-resolution, allowing users to optimize throughput, cut chemical costs and eliminate maintenance.
The HISEP project will enable underwater separation of extracted oil and associated CO2-rich gas. The gas will be reinjected back into the reservoir on the seabed, significantly reducing the greenhouse gas emissions intensity.
As part of the Brazilian contract, the company announced up to 10 jobs will be created in the Tees Valley region to support and deliver the project.
The HISEP project will be deployed at the Mero field development in the Brazilian pre-salt oil region 180km (112 miles) off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, where fields typically contain a 50-50 mix of oil and CO2-rich gas.
The Mero unitized field is operated by Petrobras (38.6%), in
