According to the forum’s coordinator, Durval Vieira Freitas, “It is something extremely positive for Espírito Santo. Almost like the news of the installation of a platform. This will generate many opportunities for logistics companies focused on environmental issues that provide support services. In addition to the possibility of using the scrap in steel mills. There are many benefits we can gain from this process.”
According to Durval, each onshore oil well requires about US$ 100,000 (R$ 514,000) to be decommissioned and generates approximately 55 direct jobs.
In total, there are 18 onshore fields located in the cities of São Mateus, Linhares, and Conceição da Barra. As for offshore fields and units, there is the Cação field in São Mateus, which already has a signed contract with Petrobras with a consortium led by Triunfo Logística.
The number of projects and investments was announced last Monday (27) by the ANP. According to the agency, throughout Brazil, 72 plans for deactivation of fields and platforms are either approved or under analysis, which in practice will demand around R$ 25.84 billion by 2024.
