Petrobras (PBR) Commences the Chartering of 2 FPSO Vessels
Petrobras announced that it has recently begun the contracting process to charter two floating, production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) boats specifically for the Sergipe-Alagoas Deepwater Project (SEAP) in the Sergipe Basin, about 100 kilometers off the shore. In addition to creating a new production frontier in the Northeast, Petrobras claimed that the two FPSOs would boost the amount of national gas available.
According to the company, each station (SEAP I and II) will have the capacity to handle about 120 thousand barrels of oil per day. Between 38 and 41 degrees API, the oil in this zone is light and known to be of excellent quality. As a result, it also has a high commercial worth. A total of 18 million cubic meters of gas can be produced per day by the plants combined.
According to Petrobras CEO Jean Paul Prates, the Sergipe Águas Profundas project has the potential to increase domestic natural gas production and reduce reliance on imported supplies. The induction of a production project at a water depth of above 2,500 meters, integrating fresher innovations, will also be made possible by this.
Per the company, the two FPSOs will be chartered units. In their technical specifications, Petrobras used advanced solutions such as improvements in the treatment and injection system for the water produced in the reservoir and new technologies with greater efficiency in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
