巴西国家石油公司(Petrobras)于 1 月 2 日宣布，其位于巴西的 Mero 项目开始第二阶段生产。

该项目位于Libra区块，距里约热内卢海岸180公里，位于盐下桑托斯盆地，水深在1,800米至2,100米之间。

“ero-2”于 2019 年获得批准，其中包括 FPSO Sepetiba，其运营能力为 12 MMcm 天然气和 18 万桶/天的石油。Sepetiba 是生产系统的一部分，该系统计划总共 16 口开发井，其中包括 8 口生产井以及 8 口将与该装置互连的注水和注气井。FPSO 还具有旨在减少排放和提高效率的 CCUS 功能。

随着Mero-2的投产，Mero油田的石油生产能力将达到41万桶/天。Mero-3 和 Mero-4 是另外两个开发阶段，每个阶段的石油产量为 180,000 桶/天，目前正在建设中，预计到 2025 年启动。

巴西国家石油公司是该油田的运营商，拥有38.6%的股份，TotalEnergies和壳牌巴西公司各持有该油田19.3%的股份。中石油和中海油各拥有该油田 9.65% 的股份，而 Pre-Sal Petroleo SA (PPSA) 则持有剩余的 3.5% 股份。

Sepetiba is part of a production system that is planning a total of 16 development wells, including eight producer wells and eight water and gas injection wells that will be interconnected to the unit. The FPSO also has CCUS capabilities designed to reduce emissions and increase efficiency.

With Mero-2 coming online, the Mero field will reach a production capacity of 410,000 bbl/d of oil. Mero-3 and Mero-4, two additional development phases producing 180,000 bbl/d of oil each, are currently under construction, with start-ups expected by 2025.

Petrobras is the operator of the field, with a 38.6% stake, with TotalEnergies and Shell Brasil each holding a 19.3% stake in the field. CNPC and CNOOC each have a 9.65% stake in the field, while and Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A (PPSA) holds the remaining 3.5%.
