The chief economist of Findes and executive manager of the Industry Observatory, Marília Silva, emphasizes that it will help increase the oil and gas recovery factor through the optimization of the current drainage mesh, with the interconnection of a new FPSO (floating production storage and offloading unit).
Decommissioning of Platforms Will Generate R$ 2.45 Billion
In addition to the investments planned until 2027, there are 18 Decommissioning Programs for Installations (PDI’s) approved until 2026, which will generate R$ 2.45 billion in investments in Espírito Santo.
The business environment manager of the Industry Observatory of Findes, Gabriela Vichi, explains that the decommissioning of installations is the safe disposal of oil and natural gas exploration and production structures after the end of their productive phase, generating opportunities for various companies.
