FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias Starts Production and Promises Innovations in the Pre-Salt

The FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias, or Mero 3, has begun the extraction of oil and gas in the Mero field, Libra block, pre-salt of the Santos Basin. With the capacity to produce up to 180 thousand barrels per day and compress 12 million cubic meters of gas daily, the platform promises a significant boost in the country’s energy production. This marks an essential advancement for Brazil.

Mero 3: High Productivity with Cutting-Edge Technology

Once it reaches peak production, the Mero field could produce up to 590 thousand barrels daily, with the innovative HISEP® system expected for 2028. With this system, oil and gas are separated on the seabed, and CO₂-rich gas is reinjected. This way, the FPSO reduces emissions and also eases surface processing, increasing sustainability.

Sustainability: FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias and Emission Reductions

In addition to its production capacity, the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias reduces its carbon footprint with the HISEP® system. Therefore, CO₂ is reinjected into the seabed, which eases the load on gas processing at the surface and cuts emissions into the atmosphere. This makes the operation more efficient and responsible.

Libra Block Consortium: Strategic Partnership

The operation of the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias is made possible thanks to the Libra block consortium, led by Petrobras, with a 38.6% stake. In addition, Shell Brasil, TotalEnergies, CNOOC, CNPC Brasil, and PPSA participate. This partnership is essential as it shares risks and enables investment in cutting-edge technologies.

The Impact of FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias on the Energy Sector

In addition to energy security, the Mero field strengthens Brazil’s position in the pre-salt and expands oil exports. With MISC Group, the FPSO operator, the platform reinforces international interest in the pre-salt and positions Brazil prominently in the global energy market.

What’s Next for the Mero Field?

The Mero field continues to see investments in innovation and productivity, including the HISEP® system, which makes offshore production more efficient and less polluting. With increased production from Mero 3, new phases of development in the field may be announced, reinforcing the pre-salt in the energy matrix.

What’s Next for the Mero Field?

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A 176,000-hectare farm in the Northeast is up for sale for R$ 1.2 billion, featuring a runway, fuel station, river, schools, and warehouses, and has become a phenomenon on social media due to its size, which surpasses that of Brazilian capitals.

A trick with a fan and a PET bottle goes viral in the extreme heat of 2026 and promises to cool the environment while using almost no electricity.

Unemployment rises again to 5.8% at the beginning of 2026, raising alarms about the end of temporary positions and its impact on the Brazilian job market.

Historic bankruptcy of Centauro shocks the market, and the century-old company puts more than 500,000 products, machines, and complete infrastructure up for online auction.

The Ministry is coordinating strategic actions to enhance the protection and safety of women in the port sector, promoting inclusion, reducing risks, and strengthening women’s presence in activities historically dominated by men.

Military power: South Korea’s new KF-21 fighter jet will be a key component in replacing the aging aircraft of the air force, placing the country on the map of air military powers.

The sugar-energy sector advances with agricultural technology, but agricultural productivity still raises concerns.

In Kenya, engineer Nzambi Matee created “bricks 2.0” using packaging plastic: a mixture with sand, heated and pressed; they are 5 times more resistant, already have official licensing, and are being used in streets and construction projects.

Federal Institute opens over 700 vacancies in free technical courses in Civil Engineering, Mechanics, Electrotechnics, Computer Science, and Nursing; see how to enroll and study at IFPB.
