Campos basin platforms by years of operation Most production units in shallow water have
operated for more than 30 years.
» Investment needed to revamp ageing fixed
platforms. Upgrades would require an assessment
of structural integrity and associated costs to extend
its service life.
Majority of units operating in deep water are
less than 10 - 20 years old and could have
production extended until 2030 through the
connection of new wells.
Revamping topsides would also enhance
production and reduce opex. Debottlenecking
water treatment infrastructure would free spare
oil processing capacity and improve water
injection.
In Marlim, shrinking the number and the size of
operating platforms will also contribute to opex
reductions of US$8/boe.
Deepwater fields have newer platforms with a remaining 10 to 15 years of service life; these fields would be easier to redevelop
Most shallow-water platforms have been in service for 30+ years and structural integrity would need to be assessed before investment is committed

Two options: decommission or redevelop?
To develop our upside
scenario, we have used the
Upstream Data Tool to screen
Campos basin fields under the
selected criteria:
• Recovery factors under 30%
• Production facilities with
remaining service life of more
than 10 years
The fields were then ranked
by their abandonment spend
from 2018 to 2025 and we
added investment until the
