Perenco's billionaire investment plan includes the operational recovery of the pipeline that drains oil from Carapeba to Pargo, extending oil production from the fields to between 15 barrels per day and 20 barrels per day. For this, the company has already requested the extension of the useful life of the fields until 2040 to the National Petroleum Agency (ANP).
In addition to recovering the pipeline, the company plans to charter a FSO (Floating storage and offloading) to store oil production and thus gain more momentum for sale to the national or international market.

About the assets that Petrobras sold to Perenco
In October last year, Petrobras sold its entire stake in the Pargo, Carapeba and Vermelho fields, located in shallow waters off the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, to Perenco.
After fulfilling all the precedent conditions, the operation was concluded with the payment of approximately US$ 324 million to Petrobras, already with the adjustments foreseen in the contract. This amount is added to the amount of US$ 74 million paid to Petrobras upon signing the sales contracts.
The Pargo field was discovered in 1975 and the Carapeba and Vermelho fields in 1982, with production starting in 1988. These concessions were granted to Petrobras in 1998 in the so-called Round Zero of bidding. The production system of these fields is integrated and consists of seven fixed jacket type platforms. With the closing of the transaction, Perenco becomes the operator of the fields.
