TotalEnergies: production start-up in Brazil
(CercleFinance.com) - TotalEnergies announces the start of production from the third development phase of the Mero field, located on the Libra block, 180 kilometres offshore Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in the pre-salt Santos Basin.
The 'Mero-3' project comprises 15 wells connected to a floating production, storage and offloading unit, the Marechal Duque de Caxias FPSO, with a production capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil per day (b/d).
Mero-3 has been designed to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, with associated gas reinjected into the reservoir and no routine flaring.
With the start-up of Mero-3, the total production capacity of the Mero field will reach 590,000 b/d. An additional development phase, 'Mero-4', with a capacity of 180,000 b/d, is currently under construction and is scheduled to come on stream in 2025.
At full capacity, TotalEnergies' share of Mero production is expected to exceed 100,000 b/d.
With its vast resources and first-rate productivity, Mero's development ensures low-cost, low-emission oil production, in line with our Company's strategy, TotalEnergies said.
