巴西国油将提高深海油田的产量

据今日油价7月25日报道，巴西国家石油公司（Petrobras）上周五对世界上最大的深水油田之一Búzios的三个新浮式生产储油卸油装置（fpso）进行了招标，这是该油田每天泵送超过200万桶（boed）开发计划的一部分。

巴西石油公司在周五的一份声明中说，这三个新的fpso的投标是巴西石油计划的一部分，该公司计划在本世纪末在Búzios油田安装总共12台装置。

一旦开发完成，预计Buzios油田的日产量将超过200万桶，成为Petrobras最大的生产资产。

该油田目前有四个可操作的fpso。三个新装置中的第一个将是FPSO Almirante Tamandaré，计划在2024年下半年启动，而另外两个装置P-78和P-79将按照工程、采购和施工（EPC）模式签约，预计2025年开始运营。巴西国家石油公司表示，FPSO Almirante Tamandaré的日处理能力将达到22.5万桶，而另外两个装置的日处理能力将分别达到18万桶。

巴西国家石油公司还计划通过建立海上液化天然气(LNG)设备来处理这些石油资源，从而更好地利用该地区的伴生天然气。随着该地区石油产量的增加，液化天然气的产量一直在上升。

巴西国家石油公司（Petrobras）企业排放和气候变化经理维维亚娜?科埃略（Viviana Coelho）在本月早些时候的一次网络研讨会上表示，海上液化天然气液化可能是解决距离海岸100英里的油田伴生天然气的一种解决方案，并可能减少燃烧。

巴西国家石油公司目前将盐下地区生产的天然气通过管道运往海岸，在那里进行加工。过去，这家巴西石油公司曾表示，天然气生产基础设施不足，可能会限制其提高盐前地区原油产量的努力。

Brazil’s Oil Giant To Boost Production At Deepwater Field

Brazil’s state-held oil firm Petrobras launched on Friday a tender for three new Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSOs) units for one of the largest deepwater oilfields in the world, Búzios, as part of a development plan to have the field pump more than 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed).

The tender for the three new FPSOs is part of Petrobras’ plan to have a total of twelve units installed at the Búzios oilfield by the end of this decade, the Brazilian oil firm said in a statement on Friday.

Once development is completed, the Búzios field is expected to produce more than 2 million boed, becoming Petrobras’ largest production asset.

The field currently has four operational FPSOs.

The first of the three new units will be the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré with startup scheduled for the second half of 2024, while the other two units, P-78 and P-79, will be contracted under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) model and are expected to start operating in 2025. FPSO Almirante Tamandaré will have a daily processing capacity of 225,000 barrels of oil, while the other two will have the capacity to process daily 180,000 barrels of oil each, Petrobras said.

Petrobras also aims to make better use of the associated natural gas in its prolific oil-rich pre-salt area by having offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) units to process the gas, whose production has been rising with growing oil output in the area.

Offshore LNG liquefaction could be a solution to the associated gas from oil fields 100 miles off the coast and could reduce flaring, Viviana Coelho, Corporate Emissions and Climate Change Manager at Petrobras, said at a webinar earlier this month.

Petrobras currently ships the natural gas produced in the pre-salt area via pipelines to the coast, where it is processed. In the past, the Brazilian oil firm has said that insufficient infrastructure for natural gas production could limit its efforts to boost crude oil output in the pre-salt area.
