Aiming for the Global Benchmark in Decommissionings, Petrobras Imposes Green Recycling Policies on 26 Platforms, Starting Its Project with the Marlim Platform.

With the aim of becoming a global reference in platform decommissioning as a model for green disposal, Petrobras announced its intention to allocate 26 platforms with a Green Recycling policy. Setting a 5-year timeline for this project, the state-owned company predicts an investment of US$ 9.8 billion in decommissioning activities, and the pilot project of this new initiative will begin in 2023 with the P-32, a platform located in the Marlim field in the Campos Basin.

The New Green Recycling Policy for Platforms Focuses on Reducing Environmental Impacts

The new green recycling policy aims to implement actions to minimize waste generation, avoiding impacts on biodiversity during production, in addition to the reuse of equipment and the promotion of a circular economy.

The state-owned company also aims to inventory the existing materials on the vessels in advance, thus ensuring the appropriate development of a recycling plan for the shipyards.

In this way, Petrobras will enable bidding processes for shipyards only for those that hold certifications in ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management), and ISO 9001 (Quality Management), which have dry dock or impermeable ground with a drainage system.

Additionally, the requirements of the European Union Ship Recycling Resolution No. 1257/2013 are considered for international shipyards.

In the case of Brazilian shipyards, operating licenses and compliance with environmental laws, safety, and health of the workers involved are considered.

According to Mariana Cavassin Paes, executive manager of production development projects at Petrobras, the work carried out in 2022 aims to ensure the application of environmental and human rights rules throughout the entire supply chain.

“The work developed throughout 2022 sought to ensure the application of environmental and human rights rules throughout the entire supply chain, as well as to ensure the appropriate final disposal of materials arising from decommissioning, in alignment with the best industry practices and the principles set forth in the UN International Bill of Human Rights, with a focus on sustainability and ensuring a sustainable disposal,” she stated.

Decommissioning Is Part of the Life Cycle of a Production System, Petrobras Bets on That

The decommissioning process is part of the life cycle of a production system and consists of a set of activities directly related to the definitive interruption of operations of a platform and associated equipment, when there are no more opportunities for extension or maintenance of production.

Therefore, through this new green recycling policy, Petrobras believes it will enhance control over the recycling of units, reinforcing guarantees that production occurs in line with the best ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices of the global industry. Maintaining a focus on capital generation, sustainability, safety, and respect for people and the environment.

The structuring of the state-owned company’s program predicts the acquisition of capital in the amount of US$ 9.8 billion in decommissioning activities from 2023 to 2027.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Underground wall construction to contain the advance of the sea is already over 50% complete in Balneário Camboriú, in the Barra Sul region, while the reurbanization of the waterfront is progressing faster than expected with 1,820 new trees and 12 playgrounds planned for Praia Central.
