According to Petrobras, this unit will be the sixth in the system to be installed in the Búzios Field, and will have a processing capacity of 225,000 barrels of oil and 12 million m³ of gas per day. The chartering and service contracts will last for 26 years and 3 months, counted from the final acceptance of the unit, expected in 2024.

The project includes the interconnection of 15 wells to the FPSO, consisting of 6 oil producers, 6 water and gas injectors, 1 gas injector, and 2 convertible wells, through an underwater infrastructure made up of rigid production and injection pipelines and flexible service pipelines.

Petrobras Refineries Sales May Be Affected by Change in State Company Presidency

As part of Petrobras’ divestment plan, refineries may undergo changes that were not anticipated by the state company, under the new direction of General Silva e Luna. The new CEO of the company has publicly stated that, since the decision on this matter is collegial, he does not foresee the possibility of changes in fuel prices. However, beyond shareholders and profits, it is necessary to assess the company’s impact on the entire population.

The new direction of Petrobras was announced by President Jair Messias Bolsonaro on February 19, and this intervention was greatly influenced by truck drivers, who protested against rising fuel prices. Check out the full article by clicking here.
