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.
