摘要

The Libra Consortium-comprising Petrobras(operator,40%),Total(20%),Shell(20%),CNOOC Limited(10%)and CNPC(10%)-has taken FID for the second phase of the giant Mero project,situated nearly 112 mi off the coast of Rio de Janeiro,in Brazil's Santos basin.The decision follows the November 2017 start-up of the field's Early Production System,as well as the launch of the development's first phase just one month later.The Mero 2 FPSO will have a liquid treatment capacity of 180,000 bpd and is expected to start up by 2022.It also was reported that following the launch of Mero 2,the project will add another two FPSOs of the same capacity.This,however,is subject to approval by the partners.
