Petrobras To Resume Operations Of The Flotel OOS Tiradentes In The Campos Basin, After Activity Suspension Due To The Coronavirus Pandemic
The OOS Tiradentes drilling unit will return to the Campos Basin this August for its annual DP test and will provide offshore accommodation services for Petrobras’s campaign at platform P-40, which is expected to occur in early September 2020. This is the first accommodation vessel in the region to resume operations after a period of hibernation due to the coronavirus crisis.

The asset operation management center of CIMC Raffles, which manages the semi-submersible platform OOS Tiradentes, received notice from Petrobras to resume operations.
Petrobras decided to suspend the operation of [some] floating production, storage, and offloading vessels and their supporting accommodation units, including the flotel OOS Tiradentes in the waters of the Campos Basin due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to CIMC.

“To ensure Petrobras’s continued satisfaction, the CIMC Raffles Asset Operation Management Center made full use of this period and actively worked with its ship managers, OOS International team, and contractors to review two of the thrusters of the OOS Tiradentes to ensure efficiency for its next operation,” CIMC said on Tuesday (04).
The OOS Tiradentes platform has been operating in Brazil for Petrobras for the past two years since its initial approval research and can accommodate 600 people on board.
OOS Tiradentes Was Not The Only Platform Whose Operations Were Suspended By Petrobras
The Prosafe vessels Safe Notos and Safe Eurus also had their activities suspended. In March, Petrobras demobilized the crew from both units, and the platforms were moved closer to the coast.
In early April of this year, Petrobras requested that Prosafe agree to suspend the contracts for a period of up to 120 days, during which no revenue was recognized, but all logistical services, fuel, and catering support would continue to be provided by Petrobras, and any days of suspension would be added to the firm period of the contract.
