According to PetróleoHoje, Petrobras received the proposals yesterday, March 19. The evaluation of the data will begin by the bidding committee this Friday (20).

The charter contract for the Mero 3 FPSO will be for 21 years and will have the capacity to produce 180,000 bopd, compress 12 million m³/d of gas, and inject 250,000 m³/d of gas, following characteristics similar to those of the two definitive production units already contracted for the field.

The expectation is that the daily rates presented in the contract will be around US$ 800,000 and US$ 900,000. Petronas is considered the favorite in the bidding not only due to its size but also for currently executing the work for the Mero 2 FPSO – which ensures economies of scale and knowledge.

In the bidding competition for Sepetiba, Dutch SBM won the contract with a rate of around US$ 735,000/day. The unit in phase 3 is a bit more complex, with five gas turbines. The project has an average required local content of 40%.

The Japanese Modec decided to opt out of the bidding after a long series of successful bids. Currently, in Brazil, the oil company has eight FPSO projects underway, five of which are destined for Brazil (Mero 1, Sépia, Marlim 1, Búzios, and Bacalhau).

Named FPSO Guanabara, the first definitive unit of Mero has first oil expected in 2021.

The Mero field produces 42,000 bopd through the Pioneiro de Libra FPSO, responsible for the early production testing of the asset.
