Petrobras’ Divestment Program Reaches Seven Platforms, All Nearing End of Their Useful Life, Estimated at Thirty Years

Everyone knows that Petrobras is selling a good portion of its assets, but now the oil company announces the launch of a bidding notice for the end of next year, aiming to auction three platforms that are already out of operation, as previously announced by Clik Petróleo e Gás.
The units will be the P-7, P-12, and P-15 platforms, which according to market reports, are valued between US$ 250 thousand and US$ 400 thousand each.

In the short term, by the end of 2021, Petrobras plans to sell four more platforms, all of which are nearing the end of their useful life of 30 years.
The next units to be decommissioned would be P-33 (Marlim field) and PCA-1, 2, and 3 (Cação field). The first is expected to be auctioned, like the first three, but the fixed PCA platforms should be sold through a bidding process to hire a specialized company for platform dismantling (decommissioning).

Sigma and the MacLaren shipyard in Niterói, keeping an eye on the evolution of the decommissioning market, created the Integrated Decommissioning Center (CID) which is prepared to dismantle and clean the parts and even scrap the material, according to the director of Sigma, Mauricio Almeida.

The platforms would have two destinations to be chosen by Petrobras: they can either be taken to a CID for cutting and sold to steel mills inside or outside of Brazil, or they can be sold to small operators of mature fields (declining production).

Despite these units being auctioned by Petrobras being the oldest in the company, as they went into operation in the 1980s, in the Campos Basin, there is still a possibility of small oil companies being interested in acquiring them instead of scrapping them.

The auction of second-hand platforms is not a new thing at Petrobras; recently the company has already conducted a bidding process to sell two other units, the P-27 and P-34.
