According to SBM, the shipyards in China have reopened and are operating near normal capacity. They had suspended operations due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Part of the ship’s topside is under construction in China at the Bomesc shipyard, which will also be responsible for integrating the modules. The vessel’s hull is being built at the CMHI shipyard, also in China.

The Dutch company indicated that if everything goes well, the forecast to complete the topside construction at Bomesc is set for March 2022.

Currently, the physical progress of the FPSO Sepetiba construction stands at 30 percent. This information is based on Petrobras’ latest financial report.

The FPSO will be connected to up to 16 wells and will have the capacity to process up to 180,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) and 12 million m³/day of gas.

The start of oil production from the vessel is expected in 2023. The Mero field is located in the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin, 180 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
