Petrobras' projection is that the volume will jump from the current 600 thousand barrels of oil per day to 2 million barrels
A Petrobras plans to increase the installed oil production capacity by more than three times in the Búzios field, in the pre-salt layer of the Santos basin, by the end of the decade. The forecast is that the volume will jump from the current 600 barrels of oil per day, with four platforms, to 2 million barrels per day with the installation of seven more units.
Construction of the new platforms has already started in Búzios
The information was one of the highlights of the Petrobras panel on the third day of Rio, Oil & Gas 2022 by company managers. Engineer Jaime Naveiro informed during the event that in the Búzios field, currently, there are seven platforms under construction or under construction. Furthermore, he said that the FPSO Almirante Barroso is coming to Brazil to finish the commissioning stage.
According to him, the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré (sixth unit) is in an advanced construction phase, with the hull already afloat and in commissioning. The P-78 and P-79 are in the initial stage of construction, and the construction contract for the P-80 (in the month of August) and P-83 (Wednesday, 28). He stated that the expectation is to sign the P-82 contract soon.
- Oil exploration on the Equatorial Margin: 16 billion barrels and 326 thousand jobs that can transform Amapá and Brazil
- Billion-dollar offshore deal: PRIO invests US$1,92 billion and takes over 40% of giant offshore field in Brazil after Chinese companies leave
- New gas discovery in South America takes Venezuela to 300,9 BILLION barrels, surpasses Saudi Arabia, Canada and Iraq, and leaves the Middle East eating dust!
- Federal government approves and pre-salt oil will be auctioned! New Chinese dominance?
The engineer completed by saying that the last record in the field was 616 bpd, broken in July of this year. The expectation for the future is that Búzios will reach a 33% share in Petrobras' production by the end of 2026.
Stay on top of the production capacity of one of the new platforms
For example, the construction contract for the P-83 platform, the 11th to be installed in the Búzios field, in the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin, was signed with the company Keppel Shipyard Limited by Petrobras.
The P-83 will be capable of producing up to 225 barrels of oil per day, processing up to 12 million cubic meters of gas per day and storing over 1,6 million barrels of oil. The project provides for the interconnection of 15 wells, eight of which are oil producers and seven are injectors.
Petrobras said that the construction of the P-83 will be carried out by shipyards in Singapore, China and Brazil, and will reach the percentage of local content of 25%.
The platform will start production in 2027 and will contribute to increasing the installed capacity of the Buzios field, from the current 600 bpd to 2 million bpd.
Petrobras is the operator of Búzios, with a 92,6% share, with the Chinese companies CNOOC and CNODC (3,7% each) as partners. The contract values were not disclosed.
