Baker Hughes signed an agreement with Petrobras to provide 77 km of flexible pipe systems to be deployed in Brazil鈥檚 presalt fields, the company said Oct. 28.

The multiyear project includes risers and flowlines for hydrocarbon production and associated gas and water injections with support for equipment storage, maintenance and installation.

These systems will also address the issue of stress-induced corrosion cracking from CO₂, which can arise as gas is reinjected into wells to reduce flaring and enhance oil recovery. Baker Hughes said this can affect flexible pipes in presalt fields with high concentrations of the gas.

Baker Hughes鈥� equipment will be utilized across the B煤zios, Libra, Berbig茫o, Sururu and S茅pia fields. Delivery is scheduled to begin in mid-2026.

Baker Hughes said it entered into several agreements with Petrobras throughout 2024, including additional contracts for 69.1 km of flexible pipe systems and associated services in the third quarter.
