ANP Extends Contract With Marlim Sul Until 2052. There Will Be 25 More Years of Concession for the State-Owned Petrobras to Produce for Many, Many Years.

Marlim Sul Field has its concession extended until 2052 according to information from the ANP board. The state-owned company can now produce in this region until the year 2052, which is located in the Campos Basin, in deep waters. Discovered in November 1987 through well 4-RJS382, the Marlim Sul Field is about 90 km from Cape São Tomé, on the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro, between water depths of 800 to 2,500 m, covering an area of 884.11 km². Today the field has eight platforms, six of which are production platforms – P-26, P-37, P-38, P-40, P-51, and P-56 – one transfer station, the Autonomous Rebooster Platform (PRA-1), and one oil storage unit, the FSO Cidade de Macaé.

Why Is This Important?

Marlim Sul is part of the Marlim field complex that is expected to supply oil to Comperj in Rio de Janeiro. Earlier this month, Petrobras announced that it signed a letter of intent with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) to assess the completion of the refinery and a Chinese participation in the Marlim field complex project, which includes the Marlim, Voador, Marlim Leste, and Marlim Sul fields, all in the Campos Basin.

Contract Already Extended.

Marlim and Voador fields already had their concession contracts extended until 2052, according to the ANP board. The state-owned company will install two new FPSOs in the field, which will result in revitalizing production in the area. With charter contracts that also have a term of 25 years, proposals for the open bids will be delivered on September 10.

Decommissioning.

Petrobras will remove eight platforms that are currently producing in the field, starting this year with the FPSO P-33, which will complete 20 years of operation in December, and will also install two new FPSOs in the area.

One Remains.

With two production platforms, the semisubmersible P-53 and the FPSO Cidade de Niterói, which is chartered with Modec, the extension of the concession contract for the Marlim Sul field is still under ANP review. With production of 46,000 barrels per day of oil, the field began production in 2000.
