Norwegian state-owned energy giant Equinor has wrapped up the installation of an important component in the process of bringing online its operated oil field off the coast of Brazil.

With the completion of the installation of “a mega piece of equipment” in ultra-deep waters of the Brazilian pre-salt, Equinor has come closer to the first oil from its Bacalhau project. This gas lift manifold, whose main function is to stabilize the pressure of the fluids not only during the initiation of the wells but during the different phases of the field’s life, is expected to ensure the elevation of the fluids to the surface with more safety and efficiency.
