It is not every day that a company, even of the size of Petrobras, closes a contract of almost R $ 2 billion, as was the case of the construction of the Comperj Gas Unit. Proof of this is that of the company’s nearly 36,000 active contracts, 101 are worth more than the deal closed with the Kerui Method at the end of March – most of them relating to rigs and platforms.
At the top of the list, valued at US $ 2.7 billion each, are the charter contracts for the Arpoador and Copacabana FPSOs of Sete Brasil, which were scheduled to start in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
The units are part of the package of 28 platforms originally contracted by Petrobras. However, the expectation is that only four of them will actually be contracted by the oil company.
Other eleven FPSOs from Sete (Leme, Marambaia, Ipanema, Leblon, Comandatuba, Interlagos, Boipeba, Itapema, Pituba, Ondina) are also on the list, as well as units operated by Etesco, Ocyan, Diamond Offshore, Transocean, Delba, QGOG , Sevan and Basdrill Beta BV, among others.
In the group of 101 contracts are also the charters of several Petrobras platforms, such as the P-74, in the amount of US $ 1.986 billion, which is about to start production in the Búzios field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt, and the LNG vessels Golar Winter and Experience.
Outside of charters, Petrobras’ most expensive asset contract is a supply of electric power with the Baixada Santista Energia, in the amount of R $ 5.674 billion for a period of 17 years (ending in 2027).
Also on this list are a contract for logistical support services for Petrobras (R $ 5.6 billion), one specialized technical services with Petrorecôncavo (US $ 1.5 billion), catalytic cracking catalysts (R $ 4 billion) and well heads with GE O & G (R $ 2.3 billion) and Drill Quip (R $ 2 billion).
Above R $ 1 billion there are still PLSVs charter contracts for Dofcon, Sapura, Subsea 7 and Technip-Ocyan, Helix’s two well intervention vessels (WIVs) and Akofs’ SESV (subsea facility) Aker Wayfarer .
Among other highlights are an offshore wellbore cementing contract with Halliburton ($ 522.3 mi), expected to come to an end in May, production and coating tubes with Vallourec (R $ 1.7 billion) and equipment leasing with Baker Hughes (GE O & G), Halliburton and Schlumberger.
Brasil Energia Petroleum used central bank exchange rates on April 17 to make the conversions.
