Petrobras Subsea Tender Draws $1.4 Billion in Bids

Petrobras' subsea riser tender received $1.4B in bids from Baker Hughes, NOV Flexibles, and TechnipFMC. Separately, L&T Hydrocarbon won a $526M contract from ONGC for Indian offshore redevelopment. Decom Engineering secured nine mooring chain cutting projects in 2026, expanding its fleet. These reports indicate active offshore contracting but do not suggest a broader industry trend.
