Baker Hughes announced Monday that it has secured a significant award from Petrobras to supply up to 50 subsea tree systems and associated services for offshore oil and gas production in Brazil. The award was won through an open tender, the company confirmed.
According to Baker Hughes, the agreement covers the manufacture of Petrobras’ pre-salt standard subsea trees, as well as subsea distribution units, in-line tees and vertical connection systems. These will be paired with topside control cabinets to monitor and control subsea equipment from floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels.

“Baker Hughes has a history of innovation and operational excellence throughout our decades of collaboration with Petrobras,” Amerino Gatti, Executive Vice President of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes, said. “This agreement opens new opportunities to accelerate growth in Brazil’s offshore energy sector, and we look forward to helping Petrobras efficiently and responsibly develop the hydrocarbon resources that power Latin America.”
The company stated that the new subsea systems will enhance recovery in established fields such as Albacora, Jubarte and Barracuda-Caratinga. They will also be deployed in newer pre-salt developments, including the Mero and Buzios fields, to optimize production in upcoming wells.

Baker Hughes added that it has played a central role in developing Brazil’s offshore oil and gas sector, with its localization strategy contributing directly to the country’s economy. Procurement and manufacturing for the project are set to begin in the third quarter of 2025.
Baker Hughes has long played a significant role in Brazil’s offshore sector, contributing to the country’s energy development and the growth of its supply chain. This latest contract follows a recent deal in Nigeria and a multi-year assignment supporting ExxonMobil’s oil projects in Guyana.
