Petrobras Just Took a Blockbuster Step in the Energy Sector! The Brazilian Giant Has Started Production of the Duque de Caxias Platform Ship in the Mero Field, Located in the Coveted Pre-Salt of the Santos Basin. With This, Petrobras Further Consolidates Its Prominent Position, Putting into Operation a Unit with Impressive Production Capacity and Promising to Revolutionize the Company’s Numbers.

According to an official statement from Petrobras, the Duque de Caxias platform ship is an FPSO unit (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) that has the capacity to extract up to 180,000 barrels of oil per day. Additionally, it can compress up to 12 million cubic meters of gas daily, strengthening the state-owned company’s energy production. This advancement marks the entry into operation of the fourth production system in Mero and is the result of a partnership with MISC, the company responsible for chartering the platform ship.

With this addition, the installed production capacity in the Mero field has increased significantly: from 410,000 to 590,000 barrels of oil per day. This increase not only represents a strategic advancement for Petrobras but also highlights the potential of the Mero field in the pre-salt, which has been consolidating as one of the most promising areas for oil and gas exploration in Brazil.

Petrobras in the Energy Market

The Duque de Caxias platform ship is not only a technical achievement but also symbolizes Petrobras’s strength in the energy market, especially in the pre-salt. The company sees this operation as a milestone in expanding infrastructure and production capacity, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable and efficient energy development.

Petrobras in the Energy Market

Duque de Caxias Platform is the Answer

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The city that grew around steel produces millions of tons per year, operates with 3 industrial bases, and remains one of the strongest gears in Brazilian steelmaking.

92.62% completed, 519 km of tracks already installed, 41 tunnels excavated, and ongoing tests put the Chinese railway project of $10.63 billion in Malaysia just a few months away from starting operations and transforming the logistical axis between the two coasts of the country.

Wireless charging technology for EVs reaches 95% efficiency and allows vehicles to power electrical grids.

In April 2026, machines enter the vineyard and mark the beginning of the São Paulo-Campinas Intercity Train, 140 km/h, 64 minutes, and R$ 14.2 billion in works.

Scientists use laser pulse technology to reveal that the nuclei of the heaviest atoms in the Universe have a rugby ball shape.

The government will pay R$ 1.20 for each liter of diesel that Brazil imports and for the first time in history requires distributors to reveal how much they profit — those who hide their margins will face fines of up to R$ 500 million…

Under kilometers of water, rock, and salt, Brazil hides a colossal wealth that led an official guide from the U.S. government to recognize the country as the owner of the largest ultra-deep oil reserves in the world.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.
