Petrobras has sanctioned a second development phase at the Mero pre-salt field, signing a letter of intent with Netherlands-based SBM Offshore for the charter of a large floating production, storage and offloading vessel for the project, writes Fabio Palmigiani.
The Mero-2 FPSO will have capacity to produce 180,000 barrels per day of oil and 12 million cubic metres per day of natural gas.
