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.

About the Mero Field

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Hidden cameras in the jungle capture the Amazon ghost dog for 23 years and reveal curious details about one of the most mysterious canids on the planet.

Everyone complains, but everyone stops: Rede Graal charges R$ 20 for a coxinha, earns R$ 2 billion a year, and turned clean bathrooms, bus drivers, and hot bread into a billion-dollar machine on Brazil’s highways.

An entire city in Alaska needs to be moved stone by stone due to ice sinking in a mega relocation project that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Elderly individuals may obtain essential documents without paying fees: a project that includes CIN, CNH, CPF, and work card advances in the Chamber, eliminates issuance and renewal charges, and leaves Brazilians waiting for decisive steps to see if the benefit will actually be implemented.

Cutting-edge engineering transforms an abandoned 88-meter-deep quarry into a luxury ‘earthscraper’ in China with submerged floors and geothermal energy.
