Petrobras to hold tender for new FPSO at Buzios field

P-82, which currently reinjects all the gas it produces back into the reservoir, will be able to ship part of its production to land, said Petrobras.

The new vessel will also be able to handle part of the gas production from other vessels, said Petrobras.

The tender for the FPSO is set to follow the build-operate-transfer commissioning model, sources told Reuters, in which the firm that builds the vessel operates it for a set number of years and then transfers ownership to Petrobras.
