Activities Are Planned for 97 Wells Next Year, There Will Be Increased Demand for Services and Labor in the Oil Sector

Demand for oil services and offshore drilling in Petrobras assets will grow by 10 to 20% next year, with 47 new drillings and 50 new completions, considering 2018 as a benchmark. Before the crisis began in 2014, 101 oil wells were drilled and 73 were completed in the seabed; since the recession took hold in the country, demand has been declining drastically to the state we find ourselves in today.

With new recovery prospects, next year will be the “reboot” of the recovery with peak operations in 2021, that is, in 5 years we will be drilling 82 more wells and completing 71. The market is still recovering from the news of the suspension of the redevelopment of the Frade asset by regulatory agencies, and Equinor (formerly Statoil) opened a bidding process to build two additional wells in Carcará in the Santos Basin, in block BM-S-8.
Petrobras also announced a bidding process for revitalization services for Roncador in the Campos Basin, using the frac-pack technique which will be used in injection wells shortly by the state-owned company.

BHGE and Superior Energy Won Some Contracts

BHGE (the merger of GE’s oil and gas business unit with Baker Hughes) won the bidding for block BM-S-11, the location of the Lula field in the Santos Basin with 50 oil wells in production zones, not bad, right?

Superior Energy secured a cluster of 19 wells but will only utilize one production zone in BM-S-11, at the Papa-Terra field in the Campos Basin.
