Petrobras, the Brazilian company that most notably built Petrobras 36, is building a new platform with a capacity to process 180,000 barrels of oil and 7.2 million cubic meters of gas per day. The FPSO-type platform is a floating unit that produces, stores and transfers oil, and the delivery is scheduled for 2025. SAIPEM & DSME had been awarded a $2.3 billion contract for the supply of P-79 to be installed in Búzios field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt area. In the development of the EPC, SAIPEM awarded Baker Hughes over 250 Consolidated Pressure Relief Valves including high pressure API 10/15k valves.
