據OILNOW網站12月23日報道，巴國油表示，一艘停靠在里約熱內盧海岸200公里處的浮式生產、儲存和卸載（FPSO）船P-71 FPSO，比其2023年的計劃提前開始生產。

“我們也能夠預計到產量的提升（生產演變），這不僅對巴西國家石油公司，而且對國家來說都是一個極好的消息，因為國家將提前收到這一生產的特許權使用費。”巴西國家石油公司Joao Henrique Rittershaussen說。

巴西鹽下層石油第三季度產量為194萬桶，占巴西國家石油公司總產量的73%。

P-71 FPSO每天可處理15萬桶石油和600萬立方米天然氣。它的尺寸為316米乘54米，可以儲存160萬桶油氣。該FPSO可容納166人。

P-71號船位于水深2010米處，是唯一一艘在伊塔普油田生產的船，完全由巴西國家石油公司根據權利轉讓和生產共享制度運營。該公司預計，該裝置將在2023年達到最大產能。

P-71是巴西石油公司運營的平臺模塊系列中的第六個，也是最后一個。

這些裝置的特點是標準化的工程設計、高產能、先進的操作技術和減少溫室氣體排放。該裝置的低碳技術之一是所謂的火炬氣回收裝置（FGRU）系統，它有助于更好地利用生產的氣體和減少排放。

巴國油已計劃在未來五年內再增加18艘FPSO。

在2023年，預計將有六艘船，總產能為63萬桶/日。在2024年，預計將有三艘船，總產能為50.5萬桶/日。2025年，預計將有三艘船，總運力為54萬桶/日。2026年，預計有兩艘船，總運力為45萬桶/日。2027年，預計將有五艘船，總運力為71.1萬桶/日。

其中大部分FPSO被指定應用于鹽下層油田開采。

Petrobras hits first oil at Itapu field offshore Rio

Petrobras said that the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, docked 200 kilometres off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, began production ahead of its 2023 schedule.

“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 earlier,” says Petrobras’ Chief Production Development Officer, Jo?o Henrique Rittershaussen.

Brazil’s pre-salt churns out 1.94M barrels in Q3, 73% of Petrobras’ total production 

The P-71 FPSO can process up to 150,000 barrels of oil and 6 million cubic meters (m3 ) of gas per day. It measures 316 metres (m) by 54 m and can store 1.6 million barrels. The FPSO can accommodate 166 people.

Positioned in a water depth of 2,010 meters, the P-71 will be the only one to produce in the Itapu field, fully operated by Petrobras under the Transfer of Rights and Production Sharing regimes. The company expects the unit to reach its maximum production capacity in 2023.

The P-71 is the sixth and last of the series of replicant platforms operated by Petrobras.

These units are characterised by a standardised 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 flare gas recovery unit (FGRU) system, which contributes to greater utilisation of the produced gas and reduction of emissions.

Petrobras has plans to add 18 more FPSOs over the next five years.

In 2023, six vessels are expected, with combined capacity of 630,000 bpd. In 2024, three vessels are expected, with combined capacity of 505,000 bpd. In 2025, three vessels are expected, with combined capacity of 540,000 bpd. In 2026, two vessels are expected, with combined capacity of 450,000 bpd. In 2027, five vessels are expected, with combined capacity of 711,000 bpd.

Most of them are earmarked for pre-salt fields.
