From The Oil And Gas Sector, PetroRio Closed A Contract With Ventura For The Acquisition Of The Semi-Submersible Platform Atlantic Zephyr

PetroRio, a Brazilian company focused on oil and gas production, purchased from Ventura Petroleum a semi-submersible platform, the Atlantic Zephyr. The platform, built in 1973, is suitable for interventions and completions in wells up to 300 meters deep. The acquisition aims to reduce operational costs and increase the efficiency of the Tubarão Martelo Field.

The Brazilian company stated that “This strategy aims to replicate the successful model applied to the Polvo Field, which, due to having a drilling rig installed on the platform, has achieved records of efficiency and investment payback.”

According to the document, the platform is expected to increase operating and maintenance costs by approximately US$ 3 million per year and will eliminate the need to hire third-party rigs for on-site intervention.
