At Least Five Shipyards Between China and Brazil Will Build the Next FPSO Units for Libra and the Production Sharing Contract in the Santos Basin
At least five shipyards distributed between China and Brazil will be responsible for the construction of the next FPSOs in the areas of Libra and the Production Sharing Contract in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin. Jobs are on the horizon! Equinor predicts that by early 2020, there will be more than 1200 workers active in the Campos Basin.
The Brazilian shipyard Brasfels, in Angra dos Reis (RJ), along with the Chinese Bomesc, in Tianjin, and Cosco, in Dalian, will be responsible for the construction of the FPSO Carioca, operated by Modec, which will be installed in the Sépia field, in the Santos Basin.
