Campos basin platforms by years of operation Most production units in shallow water have

operated for more than 30 years.

» Investment needed to revamp ageing fixed

platforms. Upgrades would require an assessment

of structural integrity and associated costs to extend

its service life.

Majority of units operating in deep water are

less than 10 - 20 years old and could have

production extended until 2030 through the

connection of new wells.

Revamping topsides would also enhance

production and reduce opex. Debottlenecking

water treatment infrastructure would free spare

oil processing capacity and improve water

injection.

In Marlim, shrinking the number and the size of

operating platforms will also contribute to opex

reductions of US$8/boe.

Deepwater fields have newer platforms with a remaining 10 to 15 years of service life; these fields would be easier to redevelop

Most shallow-water platforms have been in service for 30+ years and structural integrity would need to be assessed before investment is committed
