Baker Hughes was contracted to supply up to 50 subsea tree systems with manufacturing commencing in the third quarter of 2025, while SLB OneSubsea delivered the 21st and final subsea tree for the Búzios project. The Tupi/Iracema field returned to 1 million barrels per day with eleven wells connected throughout 2025, and the Búzios field received the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré with capacity to produce up to 225,000 barrels per day. Petrobras' 2026–2030 Business Plan commits US$40 billion to exploration and production with plans to drill 40 new wells, ensuring sustained demand for subsea tree equipment.
• Vaca Muerta Shale Development: Argentina's Vaca Muerta formation accounted for more than 67% of national oil output in 2025, with the Loma Campana block surpassing 103,000 barrels per day with approximately 750 active wells. YPF invested US$751 million in upstream activities during the fourth quarter of 2025, with 84% allocated to shale drilling and workovers, and let a five-year US$600 million drilling contract to Archer Limited for seven advanced rigs equipped with integrated Managed Pressure Drilling systems. Vista Energy placed 40 new wells online across Vaca Muerta blocks between the third and fourth quarters and increased production 66% year-on-year to 115,479 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The 14,722 fracture stages completed in Vaca Muerta during 2024 represent a 17.6% year-on-year increase, driving demand for quick-turnaround casing heads and high-specification surface tree assemblies.

Market Challenges

• Exploration Decline: Brazil drilled only 19 exploratory wells in 2025, far below the 150 exploratory wells drilled in 2011, representing the worst result of the century for reserve replacement. Colombia's exploratory drilling collapsed 48.3% to 42 wells in 2025, with seismic acquisition falling 61.1% to 1,163.8 kilometres, constraining the future pipeline of new well completions that would require new Christmas tree installations. The Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos reported that Colombia's natural gas production declined 17% year-on-year, pushing the country's gas self-sufficiency to 5.9 years, the lowest level since 2009.
• Decommissioning Liability: Brazil's ANP forecasts R$70.2 billion (US$13.3 billion) in decommissioning activities between 2025 and 2029, with Petrobras allocating US$9.7 billion for equipment disposal and well abandonment over the next five years. The PA-38 jack-up platform arrived in the Sergipe Basin to initiate well decommissioning in the Guaricema field, while Trident Energy plugged and abandoned 50 wells by the end of 2025 using a Light Well Intervention Vessel. This creates a countervailing force to new tree installation demand, as wells transition from production to permanent abandonment and their Christmas trees are removed.

Market Trends

• Subsea Tree Localisation: Brazil is advancing domestic manufacturing of subsea Christmas trees, with WEB Nordeste holding API 6A and API 17D certifications and operating the PR (Performance Requirement) Test facility, one of the most modern technological bunkers in Brazil for testing API 6A and API 17D products. The manufacturing of wet Christmas trees in Brazil is one of the main strategic focuses of the oil and gas industry, driven by Petrobras' requirement for local content and the need to reduce dependence on imported equipment. This trend reflects the region's growing capability to manufacture high-specification pressure-control equipment domestically.
• Managed Pressure Drilling Adoption: YPF's five-year US$600 million drilling contract with Archer Limited for seven advanced rigs equipped with integrated Managed Pressure Drilling systems represents a significant technological upgrade for Vaca Muerta operations, enabling precise pressure control in complex shale completions. The adoption of MPD technology requires surface tree assemblies compatible with rotating control devices and closed-loop circulation systems, driving demand for higher-specification wellhead equipment. This trend is expected to spread across South American unconventional plays as operators seek to improve drilling efficiency and well integrity.
