Platform P-82 will be one of the largest FPSO's operating in the world industry, with capacity to produce up to 225 barrels of oil per day
One week after signing a contract with Keppel to build the P-83 unit, which will be the eleventh FPSO to operate in the Búzios field, in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, Petrobras signed today, 04/10, with the company Sembcorp Marine Rigs & Floaters, a contract for the construction of the P-82 platform. The Brazilian oil company did not share any details about the value of the contract.
Like the P-82, the P-83, an FPSO (floating oil production, storage and transfer system) platform, will be one of the largest operating in the oil and gas industry worldwide, with capacity to produce up to 225 barrels of oil per day (bpd) and process up to 12 million m³ of gas/day – in addition to storing more than 1,6 million barrels.
Scheduled to start operating in 2026, the P-82 will be the tenth platform to be installed in Búzios, where Petrobras is the operator, with a 96,6% stake in the field, with CNOOC and CNODC as partners, with 3,7% each.

Platforms P-74, P-75, P-76 and P-77 are already producing oil in Búzios, the largest deepwater field in the world!
Búzios, the largest deepwater field in the world, will have a total of 11 platforms. Currently, four units are already in operation (P-74, P-75, P-76 and P-77), another four are under construction (FPSO Almirante Barroso; FPSO Almirante Tamandaré; P-78 and P-79) and two more had contracts recently signed for construction (P-80 and P-83).
“The P-82 will be the 29th unit to go into production in the pre-salt layer and is part of the new generation of Petrobras platforms, which are characterized by high production capacity and innovative low-carbon technologies,” says the statement.
The platform will also be equipped with CCUS technology - Capture, Use and Geological Storage of CO2. The state-owned company is a pioneer in the use of this technology, which makes it possible to combine increased productivity with reduced carbon emissions.
