On December 16, 2024, the Alexandre de Gusm\u00e3o FPSO, a floating production, storage and transfer unit<\/strong> (FPSO), began its long journey from China to the waters of the Mero field<\/a><\/strong> , in the pre-salt basin of Santos, Brazil. This gigantic floating system is intended to increase the production capacity of the field, which is currently one of the most promising in the region, by 31%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features of the Alexandre FPSO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The FPSO has an impressive operational capacity, capable of producing 180,000 barrels of oil per day<\/strong> and compressing 12 million cubic meters of gas. The unit, leased by Petrobras to SBM Offshore<\/a><\/strong> , will be the fifth platform installed in the Mero field, which already has four FPSOs in operation: Pioneiro de Libra, Guanabara, Sepetiba and Marechal Duque de Caxias. This new platform promises to increase production capacity to 770,000 barrels per day<\/a><\/strong> when it comes online in 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most notable features of Gusm\u00e3o\u2019s FPSO is the HISEP (High Pressure Separator) technology<\/a><\/strong> , patented by the Brazilian state-owned energy company. This innovative technology allows oil and gas to be separated on the seabed<\/strong> , re-injecting the CO\u2082 directly into the reservoir, which not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces environmental impact and emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
