After Being Completed by the Rio Grande Shipyard Offshore, It Now Joins the Brazilian Pre-Salt Production Fleet
After being manufactured in China, the P-75 platform is now in Brazil, off the coast of Rio Grande in southern Rio Grande do Sul, to have its construction finalized. It will be the sixth platform completed in the state, following the P-53, P-55, P-58, P-63, and P-74.
The completion of the P-75, however, will be different: the vessel will not dock at the shipyard’s pier. The entire finalization process will take place offshore. It will be used to explore oil and natural gas in the Santos Basin off the coast of São Paulo.
This is another chapter in the story that began in 2013 when Petrobras and the QGI Shipyard, located in Rio Grande, signed the contract. By Petrobras’ decision, most of the P-75 project was carried out at the Cosco shipyard in Dalian.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.
In May, the platform began its journey to Rio Grande. It is now at the port entrance, undergoing final tests and inspection by the Federal Revenue Service. About 200 people are on board, mobilized for the operation. By the end of the year, the P-75 will start operating with a capacity to produce 150,000 barrels of oil and 6 million cubic meters of gas per day. By the end of the year, the arrival of the P-77 platform, also ordered by Petrobras, is expected.
At the peak of operations, the naval sector in Rio Grande employed over 20,000 workers. Today, according to the Metalworkers’ Union, about 250 people remain employed.
