Petrobras on P-82 construction contract
—
Rio de Janeiro, October 4, 2022 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. –
Petrobras informs that today it signed a contract with Sembcorp
Marine Rigs & Floaters for the construction of the P-82
platform, as a result of the advancement of the Búzios field
development project, in the Santos Basin pre-salt area.
The P-82 will be of the FPSO type and
will have the capacity to produce up to 225 thousand barrels of oil
per day, process up to 12 million m³of gas per day, and store more than 1.6 million
barrels. The project foresees the interconnection of 16 wells, 9 of
which are producers and 7 injectors.
The platform is scheduled to start operating in 2026, and it will
be the tenth platform to be installed in the Búzios field, where
Petrobras is the operator, with a 92.6% stake in the field, having
CNOOC and CNODC as partners, with 3.7% each.
The P-82 will be the 29th unit to go into production in
the pre-salt and is part of Petrobras' new generation of platforms,
which are characterized by their high production capacity and by
their innovative low-carbon technologies.
The unit will incorporate, for example, the so-called closed flare
technology, which increases gas utilization in a safe and
sustainable manner and prevents it from being burned into the
atmosphere. Other innovations will be the methane gas detection
system, capable of acting to prevent or mitigate the risk of leaks
of this compound and the "digital twins", which consists of a
virtual reproduction of the platform to enable simulations and
remote tests, before it goes into operation, a factor that aims to
increase safety and reliability.
The platform will also be equipped with CCUS technology - Capture,
Use, and Geological Storage of CO2. Petrobras is a
pioneer in the use of this technology, which allows it to combine
increased productivity with reduced carbon emissions.
