Brazilian pre-salt production development brought up a series of technological challenges to Petrobras over the last two decades. Despite all the innovations that have made feasible to produce oil in ultra-deep water, the deployment schedule of these projects still showed opportunities for improvement, according to other companies’ benchmark. Given the economical attractiveness of reducing the production schedule of greenfield development and the current increase of Petrobras production output subject to the term restrictions of the Production Sharing Contract, a strategic program has been implemented with focus on reducing the elapsed time since oil discovery until the start of its commercial production, also called PROD1000. This program considers all activities of a production development project, searching for optimizing governance, design, construction stages and deployment of production system so that first oil is anticipated. In subsea system, the term reduction strategy was based on four main pillars: interfaces pretreatment (ex. subsea & FPSO), agile bidding process, subsea components standardization and prequalification of suppliers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
