In Tartaruga Verde, the investment that will be the company’s responsibility will be R$ 517.7 million, compared to a total of R$ 1.053 million.
Petrobras is already deactivating modules 1 and 2 of the Espadarte field, which began producing in August 2000. The development of Module III of the project involves connecting a well to the FPSO Campos dos Goytacazes, which started production in June 2018 in Tartaruga Verde.
The National Petroleum Agency – ANP approved yesterday, January 16, the financial guarantee proposal presented by Petronas for the decommissioning of the projects.
The company suggested the establishment of a corporate guarantee, signing, with the regulatory agency and the operator Petrobras, a contract similar to an extrajudicial enforcement title, backed by the holding’s solvency.
During a collegiate board meeting, Aurélio Amaral, the process rapporteur, stated, “In other words, it would be an obligation to pay the regulatory agency instead of abandoning it.”
The executive expressed concerns about the Agency’s involvement with the type of financial analysis that will be required in such cases and suggested it seek the advice of certifying agencies, such as the CVM.
According to Décio Oddone, general director of the ANP, the use of corporate guarantees is common in other parts of the world and proposed conducting a study to understand how this is done and evaluate the adoption of best practices.
