据全球能源新闻网8月4日报道，法国能源巨头道达尔(TotalEnergies) 及其合作伙伴已做出了对Mero项目(Libra区块)第四阶段的投资决定，该项目位于约热内卢海岸180公里的深海处，桑托斯盆地多产的盐下区域。
Mero 4浮式生产储存和卸载(FPSO)装置的液体处理能力为18万桶/天，预计将于2025年投入使用。其遵循Mero 1(预计2022年启动）、 Mero 2(预计2023年开始)和 Mero 3 （预期2024年开始的)FPSO 的投资决定。所有这些工厂的液体日加工能力为每天18万桶。
道达尔勘探和生产公司总裁阿诺德·布鲁亚克(Arnod Breuillac)表示，启动Mero 4的决定标志着大规模开发Mero石油资源的最后一个里程碑。这个大型的项目符合道达尔在巴西的增长战略。巴西的增长战略是以具有竞争力的成本从世界一流的油田生产石油，同时将二氧化碳排放量严格控制在最低限度。
自2017年以来，Mero油田一直在进行前期生产，拥有日产5万桶的pioneior de Libra号FPSO。Libra财团由巴西国家石油公司(40%)运营，是国际合作伙伴关系的一部分.
道达尔在巴西已有40多年的历史，在巴西拥有3,000多名员工。该公司在该国经营的所有领域：勘探和生产，天然气，可再生能源，润滑油，化学品，和分销。

TOTALENERGIES LAUNCHES PHASE 4 DEVELOPMENT OF THE GIANT MERO FIELD
TotalEnergies and its partners have taken the investment decision for the fourth phase of the Mero project (Libra block), located deep offshore, 180 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, in the prolific pre-salt area of the Santos Basin.
The Mero 4 Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit will have a liquid treatment capacity of 180,000 barrels per day and is expected to start up by 2025. It follows investment decisions for Mero 1 (startup expected in 2022), Mero 2 (startup expected in 2023) and Mero 3 (startup expected in 2024) FPSOs. All of them have a liquid processing capacity of 180,000 barrels per day.
“The decision to launch Mero 4 marks the last milestone in the large-scale development of the Mero oil resources. This giant project is in line with TotalEnergies’ growth strategy in Brazil which is to produce oil at a competitive cost out of world class fields while limiting CO2emissions to a strict minimum”, said Arnaud Breuillac, President Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies.
The Mero field has been in pre-production since 2017 with the 50,000-barrel-per-day Pioneiro de Libra FPSO. The Libra Consortium is operated by Petrobras (40%) as part of an international partnership.
TotalEnergies has been present in Brazil for over 40 years and has more than 3,000 employees in the country. The Company operates in all segments at the country: exploration and production, gas, renewable energies, lubricants, chemicals, and distribution.
