One of Disney’s most famous former stars dropped everything, stepped out of the spotlight, bet on elite universities, and became CEO of a space startup with an estimated fortune of R$ 240 million.
The Causes of the Increases
Many of these investments will be due to the Búzios V FPSOs and Mero 1 that Modec will build and the Mero 2 that is under the responsibility of SBM.
In addition to these, Petrobras is still working to tender the Mero 3 and 4 FPSOs that are in the ANP report as investments for the years 2020 and beyond.
It is also worth remembering the investments that foreign oil companies are making in platforms for the development of their fields, such as Equinor, which ordered the Wellhead Platform (WHP-C) for phase II of Peregrino and the new FPSO in Pão de Açúcar that the company is studying.
According to the ANP, the report serves to assist in the programming and planning of investments and activities of operators and oil companies.
The agency also projected an increase in production for the coming years, with oil production rising from 462.6 million cubic meters per day (m3/d) this year to 597.1 million m3/d in 2023. Natural gas production will go from 131.093 million m3/d this year to 167.6 million m3/d in 2023.
