[Brazil] Itapu - Petrobras 71 (P-71)

Unread post by escveritas »



Singapore, 18 October 2022 – Sembcorp Marine Ltd (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned and operated subsidiary Estaleiro Jurong Aracruz (EJA) has crossed another significant operational milestone with the completion of P-71, its second floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel project for Tupi B.V.

A newbuild FPSO vessel, P-71 sailed away from EJA’s shipyard today and will be deployed to the ultra-deepwater Itapu field in Brazil’s Santos Basin. When launched into operation, P-71 will produce up to 150,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). Measuring 316m in length and 54m in width, P-71 has a 1.6-million-barrel storage capacity and can accommodate 166 persons.



EJA’s P-71 work scope includes fabricating six modules, pipe-racks and a flare, and integrating them on the vessel along with other modules and items supplied by the customer. EJA also executed modification works on the FPSO’s topsides and hull to meet Itapu field requirements.

The 82.5ha EJA facility has been operating in the Espirito Santo municipality of Aracruz since 2014 and employs up to 4,500 workers during peak periods of production activities. Besides tapping into the burgeoning local offshore oil and gas industry, EJA, with its strategic location on the east coast of Brazil is able to service field developments in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and West African regions.

Petrobras has put FPSO P-71 into production in the pre-salt Santos Basin



Originally scheduled for 2023, the start of production was brought forward to December 2022

On this Wednesday (12/21), Petrobras has managed to put P-71 into production. The FPSO was installed in the Itapu field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt layer, 200 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The P-71 is an FPSO (floating, production, storage and transfer system) with the capacity to process up to 150,000 barrels of oil and 6 million m³ of gas daily, in addition to storing up to 1 .6 million barrels of oil.
“We were able to anticipate production on the P-71 platform, which was originally scheduled for 2023. We will also be able to anticipate the ramp-up (production evolution), which is excellent news not only for Petrobras but also for the country, which will receive the royalties from this production sooner”, highlights Petrobras Production Development director, João Henrique Rittershaussen.
Moored in a water depth of 2010 meters, the P-71 will be the only one to produce in the Itapu field, fully operated by us under the Assignment of Rights and Production Sharing regimes. The company forecasts that the unit will reach its maximum production capacity in 2023.

The P-71 is the sixth and last in the series of replicating platforms operated by us. These units are characterized by a standardized engineering design, high production capacity and advanced technologies for operation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. One of the unit's low-carbon technologies is the so-called FGRU (Flare Gas Recovery Unit) system, which contributes to better use of the gas produced and reduced emissions.
