Malaysian Oil Company Signs Agreement with Petrobras to Acquire 50% of Tartaruga Verde Field, Offshore, Strengthening the Company’s Operations in South America.

Petronas, the national oil company of Malaysia, announced the acquisition of a 50% stake in the Tartaruga Verde field, located in the southern portion of the Campos Basin, approximately 125 km off the coast of Macaé.
The deal was made with Petrobras, from whom the Malaysian oil company’s subsidiary in Brazil also negotiated the facilities of module III of the Espadarte field.

The transaction still needs to be approved by CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) and ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels), according to a statement from Petrobras.

The share division will be 50% for each company, with Petrobras being the operator of the field.

The acquisition of the Tartaruga Verde field and Module III of the Espadarte fields has been considered an important milestone for Petronas, as it consolidates the company’s presence in the South American market amid diversification of its business.

The Tartaruga Verde Field

The production of the Tartaruga Verde field, in the deep waters of the Campos Basin, started on 06/22/2018, through the FPSO Cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes, chartered by Modec.
The FPSO is located about 127 km off the coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro, at a water depth of 765 meters, with the capacity to process up to 150,000 barrels of oil and 3.5 million cubic meters of gas daily, and to compress 5 million cubic meters of gas.

Petrobras announced that Comperj, in Itaboraí, may cease to be a Petrochemical Complex and transform into a Thermoelectric Plant. Click here to learn all about this controversial study that the Brazilian state-owned company intends to conduct!
