The Integration Will Be Done at the Brazilian Shipyard Jurong Aracruz, in Espírito Santo. Petrobras Announces That the Works Have Already Been Started
Petrobras hired the Chinese shipyard CIMC Raffles to convert the hull of the FPSO P-71, which will be used for production in the Sururu field, in the Santos Basin, which is not even in the exploration and production plans. The bidding process had already been done last year (2017) and is already being handled at the Chinese shipyard. The good side of the story is that at least the integration will be done on Brazilian soil, at the Jurong Aracruz shipyard, in Espírito Santo.
At the beginning of the project, the hull intended for this unit was requested by Petrobras from Ecovix, which at the time ended up winning the bid to produce 8 hulls for replicant FPSOs from the pre-salt, but due to financial imbalance issues and some of its shareholders under investigation and jailed by Lava Jato, the state-owned company ended up aborting this contract, ruining the hulls that had already been built. Ecovix was forced to sell the hulls that were already ready as scrap.
The Sururu asset was won by Petrobras in the 3rd round of bidding held by ANP, which is part of the BM-S-11 exploration block. Both the Northern Sururu and Southern Sururu areas were declared fully commercial and are part of the state-owned company’s onerous regime. In November 2017, when the bidding was taking place far from Brazilian soil, Ecovix tried to make a deal with Petrobras to return to activities and works at the shipyard arising from this contract in Rio Grande-RS. The proposal did not please Petrobras and the international bidding was maintained.

Petrobras can use the anticipation system to put the P-71 into operation all at once, just by flexibly inserting this unit into its current strategic business plan, according to operations in China. All modules are ready, only lacking the integration that has already been contracted to take place at the Jurong Shipyard.
