(World Oil) – Weatherford International plc has been awarded a three-year, $147 million contract by Petrobras to deliver Tubular Running Services (TRS) across the company’s offshore drilling operations in Brazil.
The contract, secured through an open tender, highlights Petrobras’ continued reliance on Weatherford’s portfolio of TRS technologies to improve safety, efficiency, and reliability in well construction.
Under the agreement, Weatherford will deploy several proprietary systems, including Vero™, an automated connection make-up and evaluation platform; the Multi Slip System, which allows operators to run mixed casing strings without equipment changes; the Flush Joint Elevator, which removes the need for lift plugs in tubular handling; and StringGuard™, a dropped-string prevention technology that enhances operational safety.
“This award shows the strength of our Tubular Running Services portfolio,” said Girish Saligram, Weatherford President and CEO. “We are proud to continue supporting Petrobras with innovative technologies and highly skilled teams that deliver safer, more efficient, and more reliable operations.”
Weatherford has partnered with Petrobras for more than a decade, contributing local expertise and technology innovation to Brazil’s offshore drilling sector. The latest award strengthens that collaboration while reinforcing Weatherford’s position as a global leader in tubular running solutions.
