Ibama Approved the Installation of FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão at the Mero Field, Santos Basin. With a capacity of 180,000 barrels/day, the floating production storage and offloading unit, chartered by SBM to Petrobras, promises to boost oil exploration.

The Brazilian Institute of Environment (Ibama) granted authorization for the installation of the latest floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) in the Mero field, located in the Santos Basin. The environmental license was issued for FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão, currently under construction by the renowned SBM Offshore, with operations expected to start in 2025. Strategically located about 160 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, the FPSO will be chartered by SBM to Petrobras for a period of 22 years and 6 months.

Environmental License Approved by Ibama for the Installation of FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão Marks a New Chapter in the Mero Field

With a projected capacity to produce 180,000 barrels of oil per day and compress 12 million cubic meters of gas daily, FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão is a significant milestone for the offshore exploration sector.

The project includes the interconnection of 15 wells to the FPSO, comprising eight oil production wells, six water and gas injectors, as well as one convertible well from producer to gas injector.

This connection will be established through an innovative subsea infrastructure, consisting of rigid production and injection pipelines, along with flexible service pipes.

Mero Field Is the Third Largest in the Pre-Salt

Situated in the Libra area, the Mero field stands out as the third largest in the pre-salt.

Operated by Petrobras with a 40% stake, the partnership includes Shell Brasil Petróleo (20%), TotalEnergies EP Brasil (20%), CNODC Brasil Petróleo e Gás (10%), CNOOC Petroleum Brasil (10%), and Pré-Sal Petróleo (PPSA), which acts as the contract manager.

Currently, Mero already has three production units in operation: FPSO Pioneiro de Libra, FPSO Guanabara, and FPSO Sepetiba, the latter starting operations at the end of 2023.

FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão emerges as a crucial component for expanding and optimizing activities in the promising Mero field, consolidating Brazil’s position in the global oil and gas exploration landscape.
