The Contract for the Construction of FPSO Mero 2 Signed by Dutch SBM Offshore with Petrobras Was Announced Yesterday, 11.

SBM Offshore announced the signing of contracts with the Brazilian state-owned oil company Petrobras for the chartering and operation of the FPSO Sepetiba for 22.5 years, the Dutch company announced this Wednesday, December 9.

The floating production, storage, and offloading unit, Sepetiba, formerly known as Mero 2, will be deployed in the Mero field, in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, 180 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. Delivery is expected in 2022.

SBM Offshore is progressing with the project and construction using its Fast4Ward® program, incorporating the company’s new multifunctional hull combined with various standardized topsides modules.

The FPSO has the capacity to produce 180,000 barrels of oil per day and compress 12 million m3 of natural gas per day.

In December 2017, the Brazilian state-owned company announced the sale of the Mero field in the Libra block, the first area of production sharing in the country’s pre-salt.

The Mero field is located in the Libra block, operated by a consortium led by Petrobras (with 40%) and including multinational companies Shell (20%), Total (20%), CNODC (10%), and CNOOC (10%). The area was auctioned by the Brazilian government in 2013, under a production sharing contract.
