With global oil demand still robust, Petrobras' ability to extend Tupi's productivity could ensure Brazil remains a leading offshore oil producer for years to come.
Petrobras, Brazil ’s state-owned oil giant, is nearing a major step toward redeveloping the Tupi oil field, one of the largest deep-water reserves globally. The company is close to resolving a long-standing tax dispute with Brazil ’s National Agency of Petroleum ANP, which would allow it to extend Tupi ’s operating contract for another 27 years. This move is critical for Petrobras to justify the billions of dollars needed to boost production at Tupi .
But with natural decline setting in, Petrobras is keen on reviving the field’s output. Petrobras has outlined plans for infill drilling and new seismic research to enhance extraction rates at Tupi. The company is also considering adding another floating production unit, an investment that could cost up to $4 billion and take years to develop. By pushing these efforts, Petrobras hopes to mitigate the natural decline that typically affects aging oil fields.
