At Event Held in the City on March 27 for Oil and Gas Companies, Petrobras Affirms It Will Not Leave the City and Will Invest Heavily in the Infrastructure of Producing Municipalities

Petrobras has just cleared up all doubts regarding the city of Macaé and the future of investments in the oil and gas chain in the city, so fasten your seatbelts and hold on to your emotions! It just affirmed at an event that took place in the city that it will remain in Macaé strong and steadfast, in addition to a hefty investment of 19 billion reais in the Campos Basin, in which the municipality is situated, as well as the oil and gas sector. The ceremony took place at the Royal Palace Macaé Hotel, during the “Rethinking Macaé” event, aimed at seeking alternative economic options in the city besides the offshore sector.

Sebastião Benedito Machado Martins, the production manager of the Center-South part of the state-owned company, stated that 35% of the storage will remain in the municipality, while emphasizing the importance of the Cabiúnas unit and the two thermoelectric plants located in the city that can supply more than 2 million inhabitants if necessary, including the expansion of the Vale Azul II Thermoelectric Plant, where you can send your resumes in the article here if you wish.

Macaé Is the Nervous System of the Campos Basin

Sebastião says that the drop in production is something natural and has been anticipated for a long time, as oil is a finite resource, but despite this, Petrobras will not leave the city because it has made several interesting discoveries in recent months, such as the pre-salt of the Campos Basin which is looking quite promising, and revitalization technologies, which will still keep the city one of the main producers for many years to come.

Nowadays, there are 4 Operational Units (UO’s) of Petrobras, 2 in the Santos Basin and 2 in the Campos Basin, and the idea is to balance production across all of them, so that one does not produce much more than the others, and with this reorganization, the Marlim Leste and Sul assets will remain on the route of the nervous system of Macaé, with the units responsible being UO-RJ and UO-BC.
