The FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias Platform from Petrobras to be Installed in the Mero Field, Located in the Pre-salt of the Santos Basin, Will Have a Processing Capacity of 180 Thousand Barrels of Oil and 12 Million m3 of Gas Per Day.

Petrobras informed last night (08/14) in a relevant fact that it signed with MISC Berhad the Letter of Intent for the charter and provision of services for the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias, to be installed in the Mero Field. Resume registration for all positions for job vacancies at Petrobras nitrogen fertilizer factories in Bahia and Sergipe (Fafen), today August 14

The FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias platform is the third unit of the definitive system to be installed in the Mero Field. The unit belongs to the Libra Block, located in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin and will have a processing capacity of 180 thousand barrels of oil and 12 million m3 of gas per day.

According to the statement, the charter and service contracts will last for 22 and a half years, counting from the final acceptance of the unit, expected for the first half of 2024.

The project includes the interconnection of 15 wells to the FPSO, comprising 8 oil producers and 7 water and gas injectors, through an underwater infrastructure made up of rigid production and injection pipelines, flexible service pipes, and control umbilicals.

For the first time, a pilot test of the High Pressure Separation (HISEP) technology, developed and patented by Petrobras, will be used by the Libra Consortium.

“The equipment to be installed on the seabed will separate and reinject, using centrifugal pumps, a significant portion of the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced along with the oil, allowing to “ease” the processing plant on the FPSO and consequently enabling an increase in oil production. HISEP® is currently in the definition and testing phase”, informed Petrobras.

About the Mero Field

The Mero field is the third largest in the pre-salt and is located in the Libra area, operated by Petrobras (40%) in partnership with Shell Brasil (20%), Total (20%), CNPC (10%), CNOOC Limited (10%), and Pré-sal Petróleo S.A (PPSA) which acts as the manager of this contract.

Currently, it is being produced through a Early Production System, composed of the FPSO Pioneiro de Libra, with a processing capacity of 50 thousand barrels of oil per day. In addition to this system, FPSOs for the Mero 1 and Mero 2 Projects are contracted, respectively called FPSO Guanabara, under construction by Modec, and FPSO Sepetiba, under construction by SBM.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

While Russia dominates the global wheat market, Brazil emerges as an unexpected competitor in the Cerrado, offering grain available in July and August when stocks in the Northern Hemisphere are at their lowest point of the year.

Archaeologists discover Roman vase buried for over 2,000 years with more than 175 intact gold and silver coins, revealing a desperate strategy to protect wealth during the collapse of the Empire.

The government puts R$ 8.6 billion on the table to change the highway (BR) with 50 overpasses, 28 bridges, 4 tunnels, and 40 km of bike lanes in 180 km of historic duplication.
