Brazil's Petrobras kicks off tender to build three FPSOs in deepwater Buzios field
Reuters

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian state-controlled oil company Petrobras said on Friday it has approved the start of a tender to build three new floating platforms, known as FPSOs, in the Buzios oilfield, one of the biggest deepwater discoveries this century.

Earlier in July, Reuters reported that Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally known, was preparing to launch the leasing tender by the end of August as part of its ambitions plans to boost deepwater production.

In a securities filing on Friday, Petrobras said the three new FPSOs were part of its development plans for the asset, which aim at a total of 12 floating platforms installed by the end of the decade.

The company currently has four FPSOs operating in Buzios, which correspond to more than 20% of Petrobras’ total production, according to the filing. A fifth floating platform is now under construction and is likely to start production in the second half of 2022.

“At the end of the development phase, Buzios field is expected to produce more than 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed), becoming Petrobras’ largest production asset,” Petrobras said.

An FPSO, or a floating production storage and offloading unit, is effectively a massive ship that is vital for deep water production in some offshore basins.

The Buzios (formerly Franco) field is located within the Cessão Onerosa (Transfer of Rights) region of the pre-salt Santos Basin. The offshore field covers an area of 416km² and is situated approximately 200km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro at water depths ranging from 1,600m to 2,100m.

Petrobras, the sole owner of the field, presented the proposal for the Declaration of Commerciality to the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP) of Brazil in December 2013.

First production from the field was achieved in April 2018. Petrobras aims to produce 3.058 billion barrels of oil equivalent from the Brazilian field.

Buzios field discovery and exploration

Buzios field was discovered in 2010 by the 2-ANP-1-RJS (Franco) discovery well, which flowed at an initial test rate of 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) from the pre-salt reservoir.

The extension well is known as 3-BRSA-1184-RJS (3-RJS-723/Franco Leste). It is situated 7.5km south-east of Franco and was completed in November 2013 to a total depth of 5,900m. The well encountered a 396m column of oil.

Petrobras acquired 3D seismic data for the entire area and drilled two mandatory wells, as well as six additional wells at the field. The oil quality is rated between 26º and 28º API.

FPSOs for Buzios (Franco)

The field was developed using four FPSOs, P-74, P-75, P-76 and P-77, which were converted from very large crude carriers (VLCCs). P-76 is designed to have a daily production capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil and seven million cubic metres of gas, while the other three vessels have a designed daily production capacity of 150,000 barrels of oil and seven million cubic metres of gas.

P-74, P-75, P-76 and P-77 were installed within Franco 1 (Buzios 1), Franco SW (Búzios 2), Franco Sul (Búzios 3) and Franco NW (Búzios 4) areas respectively.

Production at P-74 started in April 2018 and P-75 began in November. P-76 was commissioned in February 2019, while P-77 will be commissioned later in the same year. Each vessel has an accommodation capacity for 110 people.

A proposed fifth FPSO is also planned to be installed at the field.

Contractors involved with Buzios

Topsides of P-74 were constructed by EBR, a consortium formed by Setal and Toyo, while those of P-76 were constructed by Technip-Technit, a consortium of Technip Brazil and Techint. The Technip-Technit consortium contracted Bureau-Veritas to conduct safety studies for P-76.

The contract for the construction and integration of the topside modules for P-75 and P-77 was awarded to RIG Consortium formed by Queiroz Galvão, Camargo Correa and IESA.

Conversion of the hulls of all four VLCCs into FPSO platforms was performed by Enseada Indústria Naval, a joint-venture (JV) of Odebrecht, OAS, UTC and Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI). Accommodation modules on all four FPSOs were installed by BSL, a JV of SBM Offshore and Naval Ventures Corp (Synergy Group).

Aibel fabricated five modules for P-74 under a subcontract with EBR. The lifting, transportation and installation of P-74’s accommodation and service modules at Rio de Janeiro were performed by ALE, while the transportation of the foundation decks was performed by Jumbo.
