Construction Delayed Because Petrobras and Companies Bidding on UPGN Contracts at COMPERJ Could Not Reach an Agreement on Contract Values
[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]Unfortunately, the decision regarding the Comperj construction projects has been suspended again. Out of the 25 companies that submitted proposals, only 4 meet Petrobras’ standards: Toyo, Fluor, Cobra, and Kervi.(Click here to learn more about these companies). The state-owned company set a base value of 2 billion reais, and this is what is causing the impasse and delays. It turns out that industry experts and the companies themselves say that these amounts will not be enough to complete the project. At this moment, all the parties involved in this project are in meetings to resolve this issue once and for all and put an end to this “calvary”.
Intense Discussions
When this news was released by mainstream media and major social portals, there were many discussions over the rule imposed by Petrobras, which prohibited Brazilian companies from participating in the construction project bids. A month later, the current president of the state-owned company, Pedro Parente, swore “up close” to mayors from the Conleste (the cities surrounding the refinery) that the projects would be carried out one way or another, but due to these disputes over the project’s costs, the situation reverted to the beginning.
Since these companies do not possess infrastructure within the national territory, partnerships with Brazilian firms will be unavoidable. It’s worth noting that all the companies that outlined their proposals are globally renowned and reputable. Experts and engineers directly involved with the project say adjustments to the prices must be made as soon as possible.

Project Projections
After resolving this impasse, construction is set to begin in the first quarter of 2018. It is extremely necessary that the construction of this UPGN is completed by 2020 to avoid a reduction in productivity of the pre-salt fields, as this project is necessary for the flow of these assets.
