As One of the Largest FPSOs in the World in Terms of Daily Oil Production, the Navion Norvegia Is En Route to Brazil for Pre-Salt Reinforcement

That’s right, what you read in the title, the FPSO Navion Norvegia has just left Singapore and is currently traveling across the Indian Ocean heading to Brazil, with an estimated arrival date around the second quarter of this year (2017). This unit will undergo long-duration testing (TDL) of the Libra blocks, located in the Santos Basin, which starts in the southern part of Rio de Janeiro and ends on the coast of Santa Catarina. The first tests will begin in mid-2017, according to Petrobras.

The construction of this unit was the responsibility of OOGTK, which managed to convert the oil tanker in record time into a floating production, storage, and offloading unit. Its processing and production capacity is around 50,000 barrels and it carries out gas reinjections of around 4 million cubic meters daily.

The operators in the Libra Block are Petrobras, which holds 40% of the production, the powerful Shell along with Total that operate with 20% each, CNPC, which is a semi-state company from China that maintains 10%, and CNOOC, which is also Chinese but is a non-governmental company that secured 10% of the operational productivity of this block.

Petrobras emphasized that the expertise of the companies involved in this consortium, especially Shell and Total, will positively contribute to maximizing productivity at that asset, due to their technological capabilities in deep waters. CNOOC and CNPC are characterized by their great purchasing power and by the way they have been operating in recent years, which definitely fulfilled the requirements for the granting of the remaining shares.
