After Petrobras Managed to Put the P-74 Operational in the Búzios Field on the 20th, Others Will Enter Operation by the End of 2018

Petrobras successfully started operations on the FPSO P-74 and begins to produce at full steam in the Búzios Field in this pioneering area of onerous session. In addition to this unit, 6 more completely operational units are planned to be ready to produce, which are indeed relevant figures, considering the last few years without such a level of investment projection due to the economic recession. Next, check out the units that will complete the fleet in 2018:

First Half

With the P-74 already in operations, Petrobras informs that the FPSO Campos dos Goytacazes is also expected to enter operation before July; they are waiting for Ibama to release the environmental licensing at once so that the state-owned company can move forward with production at the Tartaruga Verde field, located in the Campos Basin. It is worth remembering that Petrobras is selling a part of this exploration block to foreign companies, which had already been planned in the company’s divestment plans.

Second Half

In the second half of the year, the production platforms that will be ready are:

  • P-67 designated for the Lula Norte Field
  • P-68 designated for the Berbigão Field
  • P-69 designated for the Lula Sul Field
  • P-75 designated for the Buzios 2 Field
  • P-76 designated for the Búzios 3 Field

Together, these platforms that still need to join the fleet would reach a total of 750,000 barrels of oil per day. When they integrate with the fleet alongside the two units from the first half, the installed capacity will reach an incredible 1 million barrels per day or more.

Would You Like to Work on an FPSO?

Surprisingly, the Brazilian market has a good fleet of Floating Production Units operating in Brazil, and a good part of them belongs to Petrobras or are chartered by the state-owned company, so if you want or dream of working in this modality, it will be necessary to pass the state exams, and we can guarantee that many of these exams are forthcoming in the coming years. If you do not want to take exams or simply do not have the patience to wait for them to come out, read the article where we teach all the definitive steps to increase your chances of entering this sector.
