Petrobras has been heavily investing in advanced technologies to increase oil and gas production and reduce carbon emissions in light of growing demand in the global market.

The deployment of new offshore FPSO vessels in Brazil is an important step in Petrobras’ strategy to increase production and reduce carbon emissions.

With the help of Sembcorp Marine and ABB, the company is creating a fleet of modern and efficient vessels equipped with advanced automation and electrical energy technologies.

Overall, the partnership between Sembcorp Marine and ABB in the construction of the FPSO P-82 is a victory for the oil and gas industry, as it helps make production more efficient and modern.

This collaboration is expected to continue in the future as Petrobras continues to invest in new projects and technologies to boost its production in the Búzios Field with the new FPSO.
