The FPSO Carioca MV30 is deployed for operations in the Sépia field operated by Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), located in the giant “pre-salt” region of the Santos Basin some 200 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at a water depth approximately 2,200 meters.

MODEC was responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, mobilization and installation of the FPSO, including topsides processing equipment as well as hull and marine systems. SOFEC, Inc., a MODEC group company, designed and provided the spread mooring system of the FPSO.

The FPSO is capable of processing 180,000 barrels of crude oil per day, 212 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, 240,000 barrels of water injection per day and has storage capacity of 1,400,000 barrels of crude oil.

This is the 13th unit that MODEC has delivered to the Brazilian oil & gas sector, as well as MODEC’s 6th FPSO in the “pre-salt”.

Kuala Lumpur, 17 December 2021 – PETRONAS Petróleo Brasil Ltda. (PPBL), a subsidiary of PETRONAS, and its consortium partners have won the Sépia field, located in the Santos Basin, during Brazil’s Second Transfer of Rights Surplus Volume Bidding Round held in Rio de Janeiro.

Following this successful bid, PETRONAS will hold a 21% interest alongside operator Petrobras (30%), TotalEnergies (28%) and QatarEnergy (21%). The results were publicly announced by the Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) in a live broadcast.

PETRONAS President and Group CEO, Datuk Tengku Muhammad Taufik said, “PETRONAS is extremely encouraged with the outcome of the bid round which marks our entry into the Santos Basin. This signals our commitment to strengthen our ventures in Brazil which offers the world’s most prolific basins. Establishing our presence in the Americas is in line with our global growth strategy.

“Even as we work closely with our partners, together with the support of the Host Government, PETRONAS will remain focused on pursuing value creation while continuing our decarbonizing efforts in order to sustainably develop and monetise the Sépia field.”

Sépia is a pre-salt oil field in the Santos Basin, located in water depths about 2,000 meters off the coast of Rio de Janerio and has started its production in August 2021 through a dedicated 180,000 bpd floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO). The second FPSO is expected to be sanctioned soon which would increase the overall production capacity of the field.

PPBL currently has a participating interest in the Tartaruga Verde (BM-C-36 Concession) and Module III of the Espadarte (Espadarte Concession) deepwater fields located in the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil. PPBL also holds participating interests in three other deepwater exploration blocks in the Campos Basin, (C-M-661, C-M-715 and C-M-541) which were awarded during Brazil’s Concession Exploration Bid Round 16 in 2019.

01.Nov.2022

Petrobras confirms a discovery of oil in the Coparticipated Area of Sépia with the drilling of well 4-BRSA-1386D-RJS, in the northwestern part of the field.

The well is located 250 km south of the city of Rio de Janeiro, under a water depth of 2197 meters, and had its spud-in on July 31st, 2022, about three months after the signing of the contract of the Sépia Transfer of Rights (ToR) Surplus consortium. The oil-bearing interval was verified by means of electrical logs and fluid samples, which will be further characterized by laboratory analyses. The net oil column is one of the thickest ever recorded in Brazil. The consortium will continue operations to characterize the conditions of the reservoirs found and verify the extent of the discovery.

The Sépia Coparticipated Area is composed by the Sépia block, acquired by Petrobras (100%) though the Transfer of Rights Contract, signed with Brazilian government in 2010, and by the Sépia ToR Surplus block, acquired in December 2021, in the 2nd transfer-of-rights production sharing auction realized by the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP). The Sépia ToR Surplus block was purchased by a Consortium comprising Petrobras (Operator), TotalEnergies, QatarEnergy and Petronas Petróleo Brasil Ltda., with Pre-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA) as manager.
