Dynamic Positioning Vessels Will Be Used for Offloading Operations in the Pre-Salt of the Santos Basin for the Union
A survey has just been launched by Pré-sal SA (PPSA) to contract offloading vessels for oil from the production platforms in the pre-salt, a portion of which belongs to the Union in the Santos Basin. The current president of the state-owned company, Iben Flores Lima, reported in an interview that the company’s goal within a maximum period of 365 days is to have a project for the export logistics of our oil, including the definition of which company will be responsible for this transport. See the interview below for more details:

Haiti’s capital is experiencing an energy and construction crisis, facing blackouts, a blocked port, and buildings at risk after years of instability and a significant earthquake.
-
Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.
Contracting Methods
At this first moment, PPSA is researching 3 different ways this logistics can be applied, in the case of the Union’s share:
- The transshipment and navigation to the coast
- The transshipment and navigation to the coast, plus the transfer of oil to a long-haul vessel (which can be done at a terminal or even at sea)
- The transshipment and navigation to the coast, the storage of oil at a terminal, and the subsequent transfer to a long-haul vessel

PPSA reports that it also wants to reach the world oil export market, thus increasing revenues by maximizing market share and eliminating the need to sell only to partners within productivity projects.
In 21 days (31), the state-owned company will hold a second auction on B3 to sell Union oil in its share in the Santos Basin. In the first auction, only Shell participated, but it did not go ahead as they did not even present a proposal.
In this second auction, the difference will be the extension of purchase deadlines and maximization to 14.4 million in futures oil offerings, providing more assurance and flexibility to interested parties.
