/EIN News/ -- Amsterdam, February 19, 2025

SBM Offshore announces that FPSO Almirante Tamandaré is formally on hire as of February 16, 2025 after achieving first oil and the completion of a 72-hour continuous production test leading to Final Acceptance.

FPSO Almirante Tamandaré is the largest oil producing unit in Brazil with a processing capacity of 225,000 barrels of oil and 12 million m³ of gas per day. This FPSO has an estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity below 10 kgCO2e/boe¹ and benefits from emission reduction technologies such as the closed flare technology which increases gas utilization, preventing it from being burnt into the atmosphere. FPSO Almirante Tamandaré is the first unit in Brazil to receive a Sustainability-1 Notation² certification reflecting the Company’s efforts to reduce emissions over the lifecycle of the vessel.

FPSO Almirante Tamandaré is owned and operated by special purpose companies owned by affiliated companies of SBM Offshore (55%) and its partners (45%). The FPSO will operate under a 26.25-year charter and operation services contracts with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras).

FPSO Almirante Tamandaré is installed at the Búzios unitized field located in the Santos Basin, approximately 180 kilometers offshore Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The Búzios unitized field is operated by Petrobras (88.99%) in partnership with CNODC (3.67%) and CNOOC (7.34%).
