Overall, the project is divided into three phases, with the first phase estimated at US$ 220 million, as it involves increasing refining capacity, with a forecast of producing around 30,000 barrels per day. Initial operation tests are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2022. In the next phase, the increase in the production of barrels of oil per day will be evaluated.

Odebrecht Group’s Vision for the Contract
According to Odebrecht, the contract closed between OEC and Cabinda Oil is essential to boost its project sector, as there was a significant decline when the group was implicated in the Lava Jato operation by the Federal Police between 2014 and 2015, impacting OEC’s operations in Brazil, Latin America, and Africa. The expectation is that this new project will bring better visibility to the controlling group.
