Petrobras signs contract to build seventh unit in Búzios
—
Rio de Janeiro, May 10, 2021 - Petróleo
Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras informs that it signed a contract with Keppel Shipyard Limited to build the P-78, the seventh unit to
be installed in the Búzios field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt area. With processing capacity of 180 thousand barrels of oil per
day and 7.2 million cubic meters of gas per day, the platform is of the FPSO type, a floating unit that produces, stores, and transfers
oil. It is scheduled for delivery in 2024.
The supply of the FPSO will result
from the EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contracting modality and from Petrobras' strategy of developing new projects
for its own platforms, incorporating the lessons learned from the FPSOs already installed in the pre-salt, including contracting and construction
aspects. The contract foresees compliance with the local content of 25%, with services to be executed in Brazil through partnership or
subcontracting of national companies. The local content index is a requirement set in the public pre-qualification and committed to by
the ANP for the Transfer of Rights surplus of the Búzios field.
The project foresees the interconnection
of 13 wells to the FPSO, 6 of them producers and 7 injectors, through a subsea infrastructure composed of rigid production and injection
pipelines and flexible service pipelines.
Búzios
The Búzios field, discovered
in 2010, is the largest deep-water oil field in the world. It is a world-class asset, with substantial reserves, low risk, and low lifting
cost. It should reach the end of the decade with daily production above 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, becoming the Petrobras
asset with the highest production.
Currently, there are four units operating in Búzios, which account
for more than 20% of Petrobras' total production. The fifth and sixth platforms (FPSOs Almirante Barroso and Almirante Tamandaré)
are under construction, and the eighth and ninth units (FPSOs P-79 and P-80) are in the contracting process.
