Petrobras Platform Becomes The Second In The Búzios Field, In The Santos Basin, To Export Gas To The Continent

In a statement released to the market last Wednesday (07/07), Petrobras informed that P-76 became, in June, the second platform in the Búzios field, in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, to export gas to the continent. The operation was made possible after the connection of the platform to the gas pipeline known as Route 2, which transports production to the Cabiúnas Terminal.

The Export Of Gas From The Petrobras Platform To The Continent

The possibility for Petrobras to export gas from the Búzios field, in the Santos Basin, contributes to the utilization of the fields’ potential, bringing flexibility for better reservoir management and increasing value generation.

Currently, the gas produced in the Santos Basin is transported via routes 1 and 2, which together have a flow capacity of 26 to 30 million m³ per day. Route 3, from Petrobras, still in the implementation phase, will allow the flow of over 18 million m³/d of gas to the onshore gas processing units.

The Búzios Field, In The Santos Basin

The Búzios field, discovered in 2010, is the largest deep-water oil field in the world. It is a world-class asset, with substantial reserves, low risk, and low extraction cost. It is expected to reach the end of the decade with daily production above 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, becoming Petrobras’s highest-producing asset.

The four units in operation at Búzios account for over 20% of Petrobras’s total production at the moment. Another four platforms planned for the field (FPSOs Almirante Barroso, Almirante Tamandaré, P-78, and P-79) are under construction, and the ninth unit (P-80) is in the contracting process.

Petrobras announced the signing of a contract with the companies Saipem and DSME for the construction of the FPSO P-79 platform, which will be located in the Búzios field in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin. The FPSO is expected to be delivered in 2025 and will have a processing capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil per day and 7.2 million m³ of gas per day. The contract between the companies is valued at US$ 2.3 billion for the supply of P-79, the eighth unit to be installed in the Búzios field.

The FPSO platform type (capable of storing and transferring oil) will be operational by 2025. In addition, Petrobras added that FPSO P-79 will have a daily processing capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil and 7.2 million cubic meters of natural gas per day.
