Veolia Water Wins Water Treatment Contract

Veolia water’s subsidiary Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies has secured a contract for the water treatment package of the Petrobras Papa Terra P63 offshore oil production project in the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil.

Under the €30m ($39m) contract, the French company will design and build a water treatment system at Petrobras’ offshore facility.

The project involves pre-treatment and seawater sulphate removal (SRP) systems to remove sulphates and other divalent ions from injection water to enhance oil recovery.

The treatment plant will produce 54,054 m3 per day of treated water, which will be used for injection to pressurise the oil reservoir.

The project is scheduled to be completed in 2012.
