The EIC is delighted to announce the Breakfast in Rio: Exploring FPSOs Landscape with Petrobras 

Petrobras, founded in 1953, is the largest oil company in Brazil and one of the largest in the world. The corporation currently operates across three distinct business segments: Exploration and Production; Refining, Transportation and Sales; and Gas and Low Carbon Energies. 

Recently, the company announced that the Alexandre de Gusmão FPSO, located in the Mero field in the pre-salt Santos Basin, began operations two months ahead of schedule. The platform, chartered from SBM Offshore, has a daily capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil and 12 million cubic metres of gas. 

This will be the fifth platform in the Mero field, joining Pioneiro de Libra, Sepetiba, Marechal Duque de Caxias, and Guanabara. According to Petrobras, with the start-up of Alexandre de Gusmão FPSO, the field’s production capacity will increase from 590,000 to 770,000 barrels per day. 

Petrobras plans to increase its production capacity and, to this end, intends to put eight new FPSOs into operation by 2030. Most of these units will operate in the Búzios and Mero fields, located in the Santos Basin. As part of this strategy, three tenders for new FPSOs are currently open: SEAP II, P-86, and P-88. 

Furthermore, the company’s president, Magda Chambriard, recently announced that Petrobras will contract 48 vessels with at least 40% national content in their construction. To this end, an investment of US$20.737.792.000bn will be made, which is expected to generate 180,000 jobs. According to Chambriard, tenders will be launched by 31 December 2026.
