The buyer is from Rio de Janeiro and identified himself at the auction as Marboteni. So far, Petrobras has not commented on the official auction results.
The P-7 suffered an accident shortly after the P-36, which capsized in the Campos basin in the early 2000s. The unit produced about 15 thousand b/d in the Bicudo field and spilled about 26 thousand liters of oil into the sea.
The P-15 platform operated in the Marimbá and Piranúna fields and produced about 3 thousand barrels of oil per day.
The P-12 platform, installed in the Linguado field, produced 7 thousand barrels of oil and also had an accident, releasing less than 3 thousand liters of oil into the sea. The unit’s decommissioning started earlier this month.
Decommissioning of Petrobras Platforms
According to Petrobras, the decommissioning of the P-07 and P-15 platforms in the Campos Basin and the FPSO Piranema in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin is also planned for this year, 2020.
According to Petrobras’s Strategic Plan for 2020-2024, 18 production platforms will be decommissioned by 2024.
Petrobras informs in its statement that the decommissioning of the oil platforms will be carried out according to the best global practices.
“In partnership with other companies and the scientific community, methodologies have been developed that allow for the identification of the alternative that best balances safety, environmental, technical, social, and economic aspects,” says the state-owned company.
