Seven of the fifteen floating production storage and offloading units in SBM’s global fleet are located in Brazil, namely the FPSOs Espírito Santo, Anchieta, Capixaba, Cidade de Paraty, Cidade de Ilhabela, Cidade de Maricá, and Cidade de Saquarema.

The Dutch oil company signed a contract with the Brazilian state-owned company Petrobras at the end of the second half of 2019 for the construction and operation of the floating production storage and offloading unit Mero 2 (Sepetiba). The production forecast for the unit is set for 2023, where the FPSO will be operated for nearly 23 years by SBM.

Analyses by Energy Maritime Associates (EMA) indicate that investments in FPSOs in Brazil are expected to reach US$ 28.4 billion by 2024, nearly one-third of the global total during the period (US$ 98.9 billion).

The Brazilian state-owned oil company Petrobras forecasts in its current business plan the installation of 13 platforms by 2024, including FPSOs P-70, which will start production in the Atapu field in 2020; Mero 1 and Sépia (2021); Marlim 1, Búzios 5, and Lula Oeste (2022); Parque das Baleias, Mero 2, and Marlim 2 (2023); and Búzios 6, Mero 3, Sergipe Deep Waters, and Itapu (2024).

Among other upcoming newbuild projects in Brazil in the coming years are those for Carcará (Equinor, 2023-2024) and Gato do Mato (Shell, possibly in 2024).

Of the reported FPSOs, seven are already contracted (besides P-70, which is a Petrobras-owned unit): Mero 1, Sépia, Búzios 5, Marlim 1, and Carcará with Modec; Mero 2 (SBM); and Marlim 2 with Yinson.

SBM Offshore published its Annual Report and Lost Earnings for 2019. Listen below to the company’s CEO Bruno Chabas reflecting on a positive year for the firm.
