Platform Built in China Arrives in Rio Grande State for Operational Finalizations and Will Start Operating at the End of This Year

The FPSO P-75 has just arrived from a long journey from China, where it was constructed, to the bay of Rio Grande for the finalizations of the unit, commissioned by Petrobras. The platform will explore oil and natural gas in the Santos Basin, offshore São Paulo. With this, it will be the sixth time the state finalizes a platform, the previous ones being: P-53, P-55, P-58, P-63, and P-74.

But unlike all the other units, the P-75 will not dock at the shipyard simply because the dock at Rio Grande cannot support such a large platform; everything will have to be done offshore (this explains why some metalworking companies have been hiring offshore in recent weeks). Initially, this platform was to be completed at the QGI Shipyard, but due to contractual issues with Petrobras, the works were ultimately canceled because of disagreements. However, local influences and regional politics succeeded, and the final processes remained here.

The P-75 was built at the Cosco Shipyard, in a city in China called Dalian. It left the shipyard in May heading to Brazil and is currently at the entrance of the Port. The Federal Revenue is inspecting the unit right now.

The expected operation start will be in December, with a production capacity of 150,000 barrels of oil and 6 million m³ of gas daily. When questioned by journalists, Petrobras did not want to respond as to why the P-75 was not built in Brazil and the number of jobs created in Rio Grande.

It is worth noting that the P-77 is also set to arrive at the QGI Shipyard, commissioned by Petrobras in December. The Brazilian Naval Industry has already employed more than 20,000 workers in Rio Grande, according to the regional union; today this number stands at 250 people.
