The city of Macaé, in Rio de Janeiro, was chosen to receive the launch of Promar – Program for the Revitalization and Incentive to the Production of Maritime Fields.
The Promar initiative in Macaé was approved at the beginning of December by the National Energy Policy Council, which aims to encourage better use of oil resources in mature offshore fields, with special attention to the Campos Basin. The current performance in the Brazilian pre-salt, which is close to 70% of national production, deserves due mention. However, one cannot forget that in the recent past the production of the offshore post-salt fields, mainly in the Campos basin, was already responsible for more than 90% of the national production, sustaining for many years the technological initiatives for success in new exploratory frontiers, mainly to make production viable in these high productivity fields, framed as assets of world class.

With a view to launching in February 2021 in Macaé, RJ, Promar will start using oil resources from offshore fields, as recently informed by the secretary of Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, José Mauro Ferreira.
Promar will have similar molds to Reate (which is aimed at onshore) and will seek to extend the useful life of offshore fields, post-salt marginal costs, thus generating jobs in the sector and the expansion and maintenance of the goods and services industry.
According to the government, Promar in Macaé will create conditions for the revitalization of mature offshore fields and better conditions for the economic use of oil and natural gas accumulations considered of marginal cost, also located at sea.
