peregrino phase two
new tug
Equinor produced this week its first oil from Peregrino C platform, their latest platform to enter production in Brazil. This platform is part of the Peregrino Phase 2 which shall extend the life of the Peregrino field until 2040 adding 250-300 million barrels of oil. An important remark on this phase is that the carbon dioxide emissions per barrel of oil produced are expected to be halved. The project was initially planned to start in 2020 but was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the project did not exceed the original budget expectation.
