The development of infrastructure for exploration is part of Equinor’s plan to increase natural gas production in Brazil. “We are evaluating different opportunities to bring the gas to shore,” said the company’s president.
According to the president, the production area called “Pão de Açúcar” will start being explored next year. This region will be the first major field operated by a foreign company directed at natural gas to operate in Brazil.
According to Øvrum, Equinor’s Carcará natural gas field should start production in 2023 or the first half of 2024. “We were evaluating different opportunities to connect it to some nearby fields. But, it was very expensive, so it wouldn’t work,” the company’s president stated about the Carcará field.
Øvrum emphasized that the company intends to invest around US$ 15 billion in the country by 2030. In addition, the company is interested in the pre-salt megauction that will take place in November.
Regarding the offer, the president noted that the signing bonus is very high. However, she emphasized that the company is studying the potential profitability of the region compared to other locations in the world.
“You are competing with other opportunities, whether in Argentina, the Gulf of Mexico, Norway, or anywhere else. And you are not competing for volume, but for value,” Øvrum stated.
The Petrobras Established a Partnership with Equinor on October 9. This time, the activities between the two companies will focus on developing business in the natural gas sector.
According to the Brazilian state-owned company, in addition, the memorandum of understanding also includes thermal power generation projects and studies related to the operation of processing assets and liquid handling in units in Rio de Janeiro.
The Brazilian oil company and Equinor are already partners in the Roncador field and in the exploratory blocks BM-C-33, Dois Irmãos, and C-M-709, among other productive plants.
