📋 Tender Overview
The secretary of Petroleum Natural Gas and Biofuels of the Ministry of Mines and Energy MME Jose Mauro Coelho participated 121 in the Promar Forum - Campos Basin. The event promoted by the Petro-BC Network dealt with the Maritime Fields Revitalization and Incentive Program Promar instituted by the National Energy Policy Council CNPE in December last year according to Resolution n 1020 of the CNPE.Jos Mauro stated that oil production in Brazil in 2020 broke a record and reached 3 million barrels day. He recalled that Brazil is today the 7th largest oil producer in the world with promising prospects of reaching in 10 years a production of more than 5 million barrels day. The pre-salt goes well in the land area we already have the Reate program. But there was a gap in the post-salt region whose production is declining said the secretary. In the last ten years according to Jos Mauro production in the post-salt fields which has already reached 2 million barrels today is around 900 thousand barrels day. We realized that we should work on a program that could reverse this decline in post-salt production he added.Another problem pointed out is related to the economics of the fields. In the period from 2010 to 2020 in the post-salt area 73 discovery assessment plans were concluded however only 28 of them with declaration of commerciality which is very little according to the secretary. Promars goal is to propose measures aimed at revitalizing these mature fields with new investments so that declining production can start growing again. This represents more revenue for the municipalities that have the production and for the state that produces it boosting the local economy generating jobs and income emphasized Jos Mauro.When citing Promars schedule the secretary recalled that a Public Consultation has already been opened which will be available until February 17th. In this consultation the participation of agents and producers suppliers of goods and services and public bodies is expected who will be able to expose the problems and challenges to be faced so that the production of the post-salt fields can advance.The secretary also highlighted the importance of the Campos Basin and the role of Maca in the context of Promar. And it announced the realization of an online event on March 2 with the objective of gathering contributions to be debated in the I Workshop of Promar. The workshop is scheduled for the end of March in person in Maca with the presence of Minister Bento Albuquerque.According to Jos Mauro the first results of Promar should be published in early April and will later be addressed to various sectors such as state departments and federal agencies. Promar has exactly the same philosophy as Mesa Reate to identify practical problems and seek solutions to solve them noted the secretary.The month of June will focus on meetings with bodies responsible for the actions of Promar for the holding of the II Workshop. A conclusive report containing the solutions to the challenges presented should be presented in July for submission to the CNPE.The secretary ended by reaffirming the importance of Promar for Brazil and the Campos Basin. Promar is very important for the region of Maca and surrounding municipalities. We hope that these actions can be effective to boost the local economy and bring new horizons for the regions population he concluded.
