Decommissioning mission: Taking your business to Brazil

  • Date: 2nd - 5th December 2024
  • Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Petrobras is at the heart of Brazil’s oil and gas industry – and they’re on a mission to revolutionise the industry.

As part of this, they’re undertaking a mammoth project with the aim of decommissioning 23 platforms between 2024-2028 – and 40 more after 2028 – to move closer towards a sustainable strategy that meets European ESG targets.

With a potential supply chain shortage on the horizon, UK businesses with in-depth supply chain and North Sea expertise can play a pivotal role in the project.

How can you get involved?

We’re partnering with the UK government Department for Business and Trade to take UK businesses to Rio de Janeiro for a 4-day networking event.

You’ll get the chance to:

  • Have a face-to-face meeting with Petrobras and other decommissioning operators (including FPSOs).
  • Connect with market experts, thought leaders and representatives for decommissioning services in the energy sector and improve your global knowledge network.
  • Learn about the opportunities in the market, potential partnerships and challenges in the Brazilian landscape.
  • Participate at an evening network event.

How big is the project?

Petrobras’ current portfolio includes:

  • US$11 bn capex – 2024-2028.
  • 14 floating platforms, 9 fixed – 2024-2028.
  • 5 floating units, 35 fixed – 2028+.
  • 1,900 km flexibles (on seabed, and in water).
  • 550 wells to be abandoned.
  • 170 wellhead removals from subsea wells in shallow water.
