On Thursday (22), Petrobras released its second quarter operating results report quarter of 2021 , with one of the main highlights being the pre-salt results. The production of units installed in the region reached 1.96 million barrels of oil equivalent (boed), which represents 70% of the oil company's total production, a record percentage for the company. Altus, as responsible for providing technology, as well as developing and implementing the E&P systems of the company's main platforms, is directly linked to this achievement.
The results achieved are a result of the continuity of ramp-up of FPSOs P-68, which explores the Berbigão and Sururu fields, and P-70, installed in the Atapu field and which reached maximum production capacity (161 thousand bpd) in less than 13 months. Both platforms have their Hull (hull) and Top-side systems developed and implemented by the Altus Engineering team. In fact, according to the last Monthly Oil and Natural Gas Production Bulletin, released in May by the ANP, six of the top 15 units in the national ranking of oil production oil and gas operate using Altus technology.
In July last year, the Pre-salt already accounted for almost <a href="https://www.altus.com.br/post/336/pre-sal-ja-responde-por-quase- 70% of national oil production, according to data released by National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP). At the time, P-66 and P-69, two of the automated units with Altus products and engineering intelligence, already were among the Top 10 most productive platforms in the period. In addition to these two units and the aforementioned P-70, Altus technology is also responsible for controlling the Hull and Top-side systems of three other FPSOs that operate in the Pre-salt: P -58, P-67 and P-68. Together, these units are responsible for producing more than 246,100 barrels of oil and 7.2 million cubic meters of natural gas per day.
Some figures about Altus and the O&G market
Today, around 35% of all oil explored in the Pre-salt is produced by automated platforms with Altus products and engineering intelligence. By 2025, the company's technology will be present in 25% of all units and 1/3 of the FPSOs in operation in Brazil, which represents 5% of the global FPSO market.
