Oil Workers Described A Situation Of Fear Aboard The Petrobras Unit In The Campos Basin. Employees From 3 Companies In Quarantine Have Already Tested Negative For The Coronavirus

Despite all the precautions taken by Petrobras and even other oil companies, it was only a matter of time until concerns about the coronavirus reached offshore units. It’s a complex situation, but not a surprise, after all, the platforms usually have workers from several states, and even from other countries.

In the photos below, it is possible to understand the drama of outsourced workers and despite the situation, Petrobras has not stopped production on the platform. The information received indicates that 4 workers from Elfe Engenharia, 2 from Halliburton and 3 more from another unidentified company were in confinement.

It is worth noting that they were not allowed to leave their quarters for anything at all, food was being delivered to them, and they were being monitored by health professionals aboard.

The order was for those who coughed, had flu-like symptoms, or felt unwell to go directly to the infirmary and remain isolated until a suitable time for disembarkation.

*Update* – According to information from the oil workers themselves after the publication of this article, it was reported that some have already disembarked, underwent tests, and tested negative.

There are reports of related problems in other Petrobras units: P-58, P-66, and PCH 1. We still do not have more detailed information about these. If you would like to share any additional information with us, click here and get in touch with us.

The Oil Workers’ Union Signals That They May Strike Again And Halt Petrobras Activities

To prevent offshore workers and even those onshore from getting infected, the FUP (Single Federation of Oil Workers) threatens Petrobras if the necessary and proactive precautions regarding the virus are not handled appropriately, including the right to refuse work if any worker does not wish to perform it.
