The Third Producing Unit of Mero, Operated by Petrobras, Adopts Innovative Technologies to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Petrobras announced today (12/31) the start of operations of the Sepetiba floating production storage and offloading unit, located in the Mero field, Libra block, in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin. This is the third production system of Mero, with the capacity to produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil and compress up to 12 million cubic meters of gas daily. The platform is of the FPSO type, meaning it is a floating unit for production, storage, and transfer, from the acronym Mero field.

The FPSO Sepetiba is part of Petrobras’ production system that includes drilling and preparation of the well for production (completion) of eight producer wells and eight injector wells for water and gas that are being connected to the unit. The company continues to invest heavily in the oil and gas sector, aiming to expand its presence in the national and international markets.

New Technologies in Petrobras Production

The Petrobras unit has innovative technologies to increase production efficiency and enable CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) activities, where CO2-rich gas is reinjected into the reservoir, reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere.

For Petrobras, high productivity and decarbonization go hand in hand, as the company uses sustainability as a parameter in its activities, as explained by the company’s president, Jean Paul Prates.

Chartering of FPSO Sepetiba by Petrobras

Petrobras chartered the FPSO Sepetiba from SBM, which was also built by the same company, to be the third producing unit of the Mero field, out of a total of five, considering that two more will still be installed. The activity is expected to occur within a year, between December 2022 and December 2023, as Petrobras intends to put five FPSOs into production, as shown in the figure below.

Daily Production of the Mero Field

The Mero field daily produces around 230,000 barrels of oil and 15 million m3 of gas. It is a unitized field, operated by Petrobras (38.6%), in partnership with Shell Brasil (19.3%), TotalEnergies (19.3%), CNPC (9.65%), CNOOC (9.65%), and Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A (PPSA) (3.5%), as the representative of the Union in the non-contracted area.

‘We met the challenge of putting five units into operation, only this year. This demonstrates Petrobras’ technical capacity and our intention to invest in production growth and, consequently, in the development of Brazil’, stated the director of Engineering, Technology and Innovation of Petrobras, Carlos José Travassos.
