Petrobras Signed Charter Contract with Ocyan, Formerly Known as Odebrecht Oil and Gas and Two Other Companies

According to the president of Ocyan, formerly known as Odebrecht Oil and Gas, the company has chartered a drilling rig to Petrobras. The contract between the companies lasts for two years. This was the first negotiation between the companies since the beginning of Operation Car Wash five years ago.

According to Roberto Simões, in addition to Ocyan the other two winning companies from the tender opened by Petrobras were Constellation Oil Services Holding, with three rigs, and Petroserv, with two units. Simões did not wish to go into details about the values.

“At the moment you have the company operating as it is, all the assets are now highly valued by the client, and in addition to securing the contract, it’s closing the cycle of recovery on a high note.” Simões emphasized. Other bids for new platforms by Petrobras are also on Ocyan’s radar.

According to Simões, the contracted vessel, named Norbe VI, is a semisubmersible drilling platform and will be used for activities in the Campos and Santos Basins, starting work in the last quarter of this year. The company has five other drilling rigs already contracted by Petrobras from deals prior to Operation Car Wash.

The company operates together with Teekay, with the FPSO – Cidade de Itajaí, which produces oil in the Baúna field, in the shallow waters of the Santos Basin. The field was sold last week by Petrobras to the Australian company Karoon. According to Karoon’s CEO, the company intends to increase production in Baúna by 60% by 2022, making it an important occasion for Ocyan to seek to extend the platform’s contract, set to expire in 2022, said Simões.

Ocyan is also monitoring another Karoon asset, the Neon field, near Baúna, in the Santos Basin, where Simões expects the Australian company to soon launch a bidding process for the hiring of an FPSO. Karoon’s expectation is to start production in the new field in 2023.

Ocyan plans to participate in a tender to supply an FPSO to the Brazilian company Enauta, formerly Queiroz Galvão Exploração e Produção (QGEP), for the Atlanta field, also in Santos, which Simões anticipates will be launched by the end of this year.

The company also expects to compete in an auction to supply an FPSO for Shell, in the Gato do Mato area, in the Santos Basin.
