MISC Group celebrates an important achievement with the first oil production from the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias , its floating production, storage and offloading unit, which will operate in the Mero field, in the Santos Basin, Brazil.
This FPSO , one of the largest of its kind, was developed to operate efficiently in ultra-deep waters, providing sustained production flow and supporting the country’s energy goals.
Equipped with HISEP technology for CO₂ reinjection and a water-alternating production system (WAG), the Duque de Caxias FPSO optimizes the capture and management of greenhouse gases . This technological innovation allows the separation of CO₂-rich gas from the production stream, reducing emissions and ensuring the sustainability of the process. In addition, it features a real-time monitoring system and predictive maintenance systems, ensuring efficient operation and extended lifespan.
Celebrating the first oil from the FPSO
Zahid Osman, President and CEO of MISC Group, acknowledged the team’s dedication and collaboration with Petrobras and its partners, emphasizing:
This first oil is a testament to our ability and commitment to deliver efficient energy solutions in a highly competitive environment. This achievement demonstrates our role in the energy transition and reinforces our commitment to sustainability in the oil and gas industry.
With a production capacity of up to 180,000 barrels per day and storage for 1.4 million barrels , the Marechal Duque de Caxias FPSO will strengthen Petrobras’ production and contribute to Brazil’s energy security in the coming years. This first oil harvest is a key step towards responsible and sustainable energy production in the region.
