    FPSO P-91 bid

    Petrobras has started the BID for the construction of the FPSO Búzios 12 (P-91), which will be installed in the Santos Basin (Rio de Janeiro) and serve as a hub for natural gas export. The unit will process both its own production and gas from other platforms in the Búzios field. It will have the capacity to produce 180,000 barrels of oil and 12 million cubic meters of gas per day, connected to 16 wells.

    The gas will be transported to the Boaventura Energy Complex via the Rota 3 pipeline. The project is a partnership between Petrobras, CNPC, and CNOOC, reinforcing Búzios as the company’s main production field. The contract follows the BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model and requires a minimum of 25% local content.

    By Rafael Bortoloti

    Vast Infraestrutura has announced a new contract to provide oil transshipment operations, using the ship-to-ship model, with CNOOC International. The agreement is valid for three years and will be carried out at T-OIL, Porto do Açu. The location is under the management of the infrastructure company, which aims to transform it into a hub for the storage and handling of liquids.

    This is the second oil transshipment agreement between Vast and China National Offshore Oil Corporation since 2022. CNOOC holds assets in Búzios and Mero fields.

    “The ship-to-ship operations are performed for CNOOC´s crude cargoes from Suezmax shuttle tankers that loaded off FPSOs to top off VLCCs for their exports to the Far East”, details Daniel Buckley, chartering manager at WSB.
