Libra Consortium Takes Final Investment Decision on Mero-2 FPSO in Brazil's Pre-Salt

Libra Consortium announced today the final investment decision to contract the Mero-2 floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel to be deployed at the Mero field offshore Santos Basin in Brazil.

The FPSO will have a capacity to process up to 180,000 barrels of oil per day.  The consortium plans four new production systems to be deployed in the Mero field.  Mero-2 is the second, with first oil expected in 2022.

"Shell is the largest foreign producer in Brazil, which has become a heartland for us.  Mero-2 is the latest in a series of FPSOs that will come online," said Andy Brown, Upstream Director, Royal Dutch Shell.  "From production to development, appraisal and exploration, we have a full funnel of long-life, resilient growth opportunities in the country, which is home to some of the best deep-water basins in the world."
