The Polo Marlim comprises the concessions, Voador, Marlim Leste and Marlim Sul. According to the Petrobras report, the state-owned company will remain as operator of the fields.

According to Carlos José Travassos, executive manager of Águas Profundas, the initiative is far from being a move by Petrobras to leave the Campos Basin. “This is a fundamental requirement for the continuity of our operations in more challenging scenarios. It is just one part of the renovation plan already underway for the Campos Basin, which covers the exploratory campaign of the 14 blocks acquired between 2017 and 2019 and occupy an area practically the size of a new Campos Basin”, says Travassos.

Travassos also states that the revitalization of Marlim includes the interconnection of more than 100 wells to the systems already in operation, complementary development projects, new production systems with the installation of three new FPSOs, the reorganization of the flow networks, the recovery of the integrity of existing units. “The establishment of a partnership in Marlim allows the sharing of costs and risks and of course opportunities. This movement reinforces cash generation, important not only for reducing our debt, but guarantees the investments foreseen in the Campos Basin renovation plan”, concludes the executive manager of Águas Profundas.
