For The Shipbuilding Industry, It Could Be A Sign Of Hope. At The Beginning Of 2010, The Sector Celebrated The Recovery With Orders Of Platforms And Ships From Petrobras

Petrobras plans to resume building its platforms, due to the excitement in the platform chartering market. The information comes from Rudimar Lorenzatto, Director of Production Development and Technology, who participated this Friday, October 25, in a conference call with market analysts. The state-owned company reported this Friday that it had a 37% increase and reached R$ 9 billion in the 3rd quarter.

There is still no definition on the number of vessels that the state-owned company intends to acquire, but the total or partial construction of the units in the country should impact the economy and the shipbuilding industry.

Market estimates suggest that the cost of a floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) with a production capacity of 150,000 barrels per day is US$ 1.5 billion in the international market.

For The Shipbuilding Industry, It Could Be A Sign Of Hope. At The Beginning Of 2010, The Sector Celebrated The Recovery With Orders Of Platforms And Ships From Petrobras, But Since 2015, It Has Sunk Into A Crisis Following The Cut In Orders From The State-Owned Company, A Reflection Of The Corruption Scandal Uncovered By Operation Car Wash — With Investigations Targeting The Controllers Of Several National Shipyards.

According To Lorenzatto, The Choice For Construction Has Always Been A Desire Of The State-Owned Company, However, It Will Depend On The Economic Viability Of The Projects.

The Director Also Stated That Petrobras Intends To Strengthen Its Presence And Investments In The Campos Basin. The Evolution Of Production In The Region Is Not Yet Planned For The Moment, It Will Be Done In The Coming Years.

According To Anelise Lara, Director Of Refining At Petrobras, The Company’s Upcoming Investments In The Natural Gas Production Outflow Area, Involving Pipelines From Processing Units, Will Be Made In Partnership With Other Operators In The Area.

This Friday, The Director Was Asked How Petrobras Plans To Handle The Large Volume Of Natural Gas That Will Come From The Pre-Salt.

Lara Told The Analyst While Discussing The Third Quarter Balance Sheet This Year, “We Are Already Thinking About The Capitalization Of This Gas That Will Still Be Produced In The New Projects, But Most Will Be In Partnerships.”

According To Her, Particularly The Southern Parts Of The Campos And Santos Basins Are “Prolific For Gas” And Certainly The Three Routes Previously Planned By Petrobras For This Purpose Will Not Be Sufficient.
