Petrobras – The Mero 3 Oil Field belonging to the Libra consortium composed of Shell, Total, CNPC, and CNOOC will receive another FPSO. The vessel is in the final negotiation phase with the Malaysian company MISC.
The company’s offer was a daily rate of US$ 700 thousand and beat SBM’s offer of US$ 800 thousand. The first oil from the FPSO is scheduled for 2023, but it may face delays due to the current crisis in the oil sector caused by the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide.
