Here’s the project description for Total Exploration & Production Brazil (TEPBR) – Lapa South‑West (LAPA SW) EPCI SURF & EPS Project, written in paragraph form:

The Lapa South‑West (LAPA SW) field is an offshore subsea development in the pre‑salt Santos Basin, approximately 270–300 km off the coast of São Paulo, Brazil. Operated by TotalEnergies E&P do Brasil (45%), in partnership with Shell Brasil (30%) and Repsol Sinopec (25%), TEPBR reached Final Investment Decision in January 2023. The development involves drilling three wells and connecting them via a subsea tie‑back to the existing Lapa FPSO (Cidade de Caraguatatuba MV27) located about 12 km away, with production expected to start in 2025, adding approximately 25,000 barrels per day to total field output—raising it to around 60,000 bpd. The total project cost is estimated at USD 1 billion.

This project marks a milestone as the first integrated SURF (Subsea Umbilicals, Risers, Flowlines) and SPS (Subsea Production System) package commissioned by TotalEnergies. Saipem, in partnership with Aker Solutions do Brasil, was awarded the EPCI scope, covering engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of the entire subsea infrastructure—including trees, control systems, umbilicals, risers, flowlines, and the necessary tie‑ins. To meet local-content objectives, Saipem plans to leverage its Guarujá CTCO yard for logistics, quad joint fabrication, and other manufacturing. Deliveries and installation are slated between Q1 and Q4 of 2024.
