This will be the third FPSO under construction by SBM. In addition to the FPSO Sepetiba (Mero-2022), the operator is also building the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré (Búzios – Santos Basin).

The contracts reinforce Petrobras’s operations in partnership in the E&P area focused on deep and ultra-deep waters. The company continues to operate efficiently and competitively, maximizing the potential of the assets and promoting more returns for the company and society.

Operated by Petrobras, Mero Field is the Third Largest in the Pre-Salt

The Mero field is the third largest in the pre-salt and is located in the Libra area, operated by Petrobras (40%) in partnership with Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. (20%), TotalEnergies EP Brasil Ltda. (20%), CNODC Brasil Petróleo e Gás Ltda. (10%), CNOOC Petroleum Brasil Ltda. (10%) and Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA), which acts as the manager of this contract.

The forecast is that production of Mero’s first definitive system (Mero 1) will start in 2022, through the FPSO Guanabara, followed by Mero 2 (FPSO Sepetiba) in 2023, and Mero 3 (FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias) in 2024.
