It Is Expected That With This Petrobras Proposal By 2024 More Than 12 FPSOs Will Be Installed And The FPSO Mero Will Be Reactivated, A Large Part Of The Investments Will Be Directed To The Pre-Salt.

The market leader Petrobras requested a license to obtain approval for the project involving the installation of 12 FPSOs in the Pre-salt of the Santos Basin and the FPSO Mero. In total, the company plans to install between 12 and 13 FPSOs from 2020 to 2024, anticipating investments of US$ 64 billion in exploration and production, with 28% in Búzios, which includes the payment of the bonus for the acquisition of the excess. The pre-salt will receive 59% of the new investments.

Furthermore, in addition to the major announcement of the implementation of the 12 FPSOs in the Santos basin pre-salt along with the reactivation of the FPSO Mero, we also had the shutdown of the FPSO Capixaba, all due to COVID-19. The company reported that it will resume its activities in the following month (August).

Unfortunately, SBM Offshore was one of the first companies to be affected, having to suspend its activities since April. Thus, due to the pandemic, it was announced that operations involving the platform in the Campos Basin – FPSO Polvo – would be halted; it is operated by PetroRio, which initially also suspended its activities on June 26 and resumed on July 4. After ensuring that all safety preventive measures were in place, it returned.

Decommissioning The FPSOs And Petrobras’s New Plans

Undeniably, Petrobras’s Business Plan 2020-24 foresees the decommissioning of 18 platforms. However, after the complex task of removal from the lease – in the case of floating or fixed units that cannot be turned into artificial reefs – their fate will be sale or reuse by the company? The option for divesting the units seems to be the preferred choice thus far, as is the case with the semisubmersibles P-7, P-12, and P-15, which will go up for auction on July 9.

The platforms operated, respectively, in the fields of Bicudo and Enchova; in Badejo, Linguado, and Trilha; and in Marimba and Piraúna, in the Campos Basin.

Production Setting Records

In conclusion, since we also talked about significant returns in the oil industry, we could not fail to mention the production of the FPSO Campo de Búzios. Setting major records of 674 THOUSAND BPD with only 04 units (P-74, 75, 76, and 77) with a forecast for 2022 of the FPSO Almirante Barroso, which is expected to join the quartet.
