According to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels, the 25% is within the current contractual requirements, where in 2019 the contractual addendum agreed upon between Petrobras and the federal government changed the commitments for the nationalization of projects.

The ANP Resolution No. 726/2018 relaxed the local content requirements in E&P contracts, reducing the minimum global index of UEPs to 40% – the same percentage established for well construction. Collection and transportation activities will have to comply with 25% nationalization.

The expectation is that the FPSOs Búzios 5 and Itapu ordered by Petrobras to produce in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin will enter into operation in 2022 and 2024, respectively.

Named Almirante Barroso, the FPSO Búzios 5 was contracted to the Japanese Modec, which ordered four modules from Estaleiros do Brasil, in RS, and two from the Brasfels shipyard in Angra dos Reis, in RJ. The unit is being built by Cosco in China.

The integration of the FPSO Cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes (P-74) was done in Rio Grande do Sul by the EBR shipyard, with the P-74 being the first of the four platforms to be installed in the Búzios field.

The hulls of all FPSOs operating in the asset were partly converted by the Enseada Indústria Naval group in Rio de Janeiro, and partly in Asian shipyards, which also integrated the P-75 and P-77. The P-76 was integrated by Techint in Pontal do Paraná (PR).

The construction and operation of the FPSO Itapu are being bid by Petrobras, with proposal submissions scheduled for April 20.
