Brazil's Petrobras launches tender for new FPSO

Bnamericas

Brazil's Petrobras has launched a tender for a contract to construct and operate the second definitive production system of the Mero field, in the Santospre-salt basin.

The platform will be a floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) capable of producing 180,000b/d and processing 12Mm3/d. It will be installed in water depth of 2,000m.

With similar characteristics to the first production system, the new FPSO will be equipped with some optimizations, the state-run oil firm reported. First oil is scheduled for 2022.

Production in the Libra block, where Mero is located, began last November, when Teekay Offshore's Pioneiro de Libra platform came online. The FPSO is carrying out an extended well and anticipated production tests in the area.

Petrobras is the operator of the Libra block, with a 40% stake. Shell, with a 20% share, Total (20%), CNPC (10%) and CNOOC (10%) are partners.
