The ANP Just Exempted Petrobras From Building the Libra Hull In Brazil Because Costs Here Are 40% Higher. Unions Protest.

[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]Petrobras managed to have the ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels) exempt it from local content rules for the Libra field in the pre-salt. The Brazilian naval sector quickly mobilized in protests and will file appeals to try to reverse this situation, with Sérgio Bacci, vice president of Sinaval, at the forefront of this battle.

What happened is that yesterday (4), the ANP decided to allow Petrobras to hire FPSO hull construction services for the Libra field project anywhere in the world, meaning that since building abroad is much cheaper than in Brazil due to tax burdens, the state-owned company will naturally want to construct this and other projects abroad, more precisely in China, where the economy exceeds 40%.

According to the vice president of Sinaval, the issue is that no agency consulted any shipyards to find out whether they could handle the construction of this hull or not. The union requested all documentation from the Libra Consortium to understand why and what basis the ANP used to make this decision without consultation. After the technical evaluation, Bacci will take the necessary legal measures to reverse this situation.

Petrobras stated in an official declaration that it is pleased with the ANP’s decision because consequently, this move will bring competitiveness to the Brazilian oil industry.

In April of this year, a public hearing was held regarding the flexibility of local content, and Petrobras said that if it adhered to all the rules in full, producing oil at the Libra field would be 40% more expensive. They also emphasized that this is a consequence of the heavy tax burden that the country (Brazil) imposes on the oil companies located here. In China, for instance, labor fines and service taxes are much more affordable, completely contrary to Brazil. Source: G1
