The New Platforms Will Be Installed in the Atapu and Sépia Fields, in the Pre-Salt Layer of the Santos Basin, with Production Expected to Begin in 2029 and 2030

In a strategic move to expand its operations in the pre-salt, Petrobras has signed contracts with Seatrium for the acquisition of two new oil FPSO platforms, P-84 and P-85. These oil contracts mark a significant step for the exploration of the Atapu and Sépia fields, in ultra-deep waters of the Santos Basin, according to the website Petronotícias.

Participation of the Brazilian Shipbuilding Industry

Despite the importance of the oil contract between Petrobras and Seatrium, the participation of the Brazilian shipbuilding industry in the works will be limited. The P-84 and P-85 platforms will have a local content of only 20% and 25%, respectively. Most of the construction of the oil platforms will be carried out in Singapore, home to Seatrium, and in China. Brazilian shipyards, such as BrasFELS in Angra dos Reis (RJ) and Jurong Aracruz in Aracruz (ES), will need to focus on the construction of modules and commissioning.

Currently, the BrasFELS shipyard is involved in the construction and assembly of modules for the P-78 platform, intended for the Búzios field. The Jurong Aracruz shipyard recently completed the FPSO Anita Garibaldi, which began operations in August 2023.

Capacity and Efficiency of the New Platforms of Petrobras and Seatrium

Each of the new platforms will have a daily oil production capacity of 225 thousand barrels and a processing capacity of 10 million cubic meters of gas. In the Atapu and Sépia fields, the platforms will join the already operational P-70 and FPSO Carioca, enhancing production in these locations.

The P-84 and P-85 projects stand out for their efficiency in reducing emissions. It is estimated that the greenhouse gas emissions intensity per barrel of oil equivalent produced will be reduced by 30%, positioning these units among the most efficient to come into operation in Brazil. This efficiency is due to the adoption of advanced technologies such as the All Electric configuration, optimizations in the processing plant, ventilated gas recovery, deep seawater intake, use of variable speed drives, cogeneration, recovery of flare gases, and geological CO2 capture, use, and storage.

Sustainable Technologies Incorporated in Petrobras’ Contract

The P-84 and P-85 will be equipped with several sustainable technologies, including:

Zero Routine Ventilation: Recovery of ventilated gases from the ballast tanks and the processing plant.
Deep Seawater Intake: Use of water drawn from greater depths for cooling operations and other processes.
Variable Speed Drives in Pumps and Compressors: Improvement in energy efficiency.
Cogeneration (Waste Heat Recovery Unit): Utilization of waste heat for power generation.
Zero Routine Flaring: Recovery of flare gases through a closed flare system.
Valves with Requirements for Low Fugitive Emissions: Reduction of unintentional emissions.
CO2 Capture, Use, and Geological Storage: Treatment and storage of CO2 produced alongside the gas.

With production expected to begin between 2029 and 2030, the P-84 and P-85 platforms represent a significant advancement for Petrobras in the exploration of the pre-salt, establishing themselves as emblematic projects both for their production capacity and sustainability.

Estamos precisando de um grande estaleiro para construção dessas plataformas no país. Temos material, mão de obra, equipamentos e projetistas, mas nos falta vontade política. Várias plataformas já foram fabricadas no Brasil com sucesso total e vários estaleiros foram fechados. Perdemos o emprego de milhares de trabalhadores e tiramos produção de nossas siderúrgicas. E depois não sabem porque existe tanta miséria no país…

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

80 million bombs still buried, toxic metals leaking into the soil, and crops surrounded by unexploded ordnance make Laos one of the most dangerous and silent war legacies on the planet.

War in Iran takes a turn today: with reinforced control in Hormuz, shots fired at a tanker, six airports reopened, and renewed tension in Lebanon.

A 13-year-old boy accidentally finds real treasure with a metal detector on an island in Germany, and the discovery reveals rare Viking pieces linked to Harald Bluetooth.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

Petrobras buys 75% of Oranto and becomes the operator of block 3 in São Tomé and Príncipe, resuming its strategy in Africa to diversify its portfolio and replenish oil and gas reserves.
