T12 Engineering Expands Presence In Brazil With Major Framework Agreement
Posted on 24 March 2025
T12 Engineering has strengthened its international presence with a significant three-year framework agreement in Brazil, secured with an independent oil and gas operator.
This agreement follows the successful delivery of three key pieces of equipment designed to support the late-life extension of subsea assets. It also builds on previous collaborative projects with the same operator in the UK, whose identity remains confidential due to a non-disclosure agreement.
With offices in Teesside, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, T12 Engineering operates across multiple sectors, delivering advanced designs and technology to extend the lifespan of subsea assets and energy infrastructure. The company’s expertise spans bridge construction, energy from waste, offshore and onshore petrochemicals, and asset integrity management.
As the preferred supplier under this framework agreement, T12 Engineering will expand its profile in Brazil, one of the world’s leading oil-producing nations. While much of Brazil’s oil comes from offshore reserves requiring sophisticated engineering solutions, there is a growing emphasis on extending the life of existing assets to enhance sustainability and maximise returns.
Graham Melroy, Director of T12 Engineering, said:
“Securing this agreement is a major milestone for T12. Brazil’s oil and gas sector presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in asset redevelopment and lifecycle extension. We’re proud to be contributing to the sustainable future of the industry by ensuring mid-life assets continue to operate safely and efficiently.
“This agreement underlines our technical expertise and commitment to delivering tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of the global energy market.”
The company’s senior management team recently visited Brazil as part of an oil and gas delegation organised by the Department for Business and Trade and Santander UK. The visit enabled them to engage with Brazilian companies keen to collaborate with the UK supply chain.
Fellow Director Andy Hughes added:
“Our involvement in the trade delegation provided valuable insight into the market, as we look to grow our presence in South America. We see Brazil as a gateway to further opportunities, and we’re actively exploring additional projects to support the country’s dynamic energy sector.
“Our goal is to foster long-term partnerships and bring innovative engineering solutions that enhance asset integrity and operational efficiency.”
