In Total, There Are 19 Decommissioning Projects for Oil and Gas Platforms and Production Facilities. R$ 597.13 Million Will Be Invested in the Process

The state of Espírito Santo will host major events in the oil and gas sector over the next five years. In addition to those previously announced (the start of the new gas market, privatization of wells, and the arrival of a new floating platform), the state will be home to 19 decommissioning projects for oil and gas units and deactivation of fields.

Of the 19 projects, some have already been approved while others are still under analysis by the National Agency for Oil, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP). R$ 597.13 million is the estimated amount to be invested by operating companies in the decommissioning of the units between 2020 and 2024.

In the state, the FCP&G (Capixaba Forum for Oil and Gas) estimates the opening of 2,000 new direct and indirect job opportunities over the next five years.

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.
